The Great Silent Majority: Tough-o-Meter

    The Great Silent Majority: Tough-o-Meter

      (2) Sea Level

      Nixon is not trying to impress all you Shakespearean scholars out there by speaking in iambic pentameter whilst cradling a human skull a la Hamlet.

      It would be pretty cool to hear this speech in Shakespearean terms, though.
