Now starring in The Assassination of Richard Nixon; From the Boston Globe:
There’s an interesting parallel between Bush and Richard Nixon. While Nixon was clearly a superior statesman and in many ways a more intelligent politician, what they share is a kind of boldness in how they emote their insecurities. What we’re finding with George Bush — part of what’s familiar to people and that adds to his likability for many — is that there’s a commonality of deep insecurity and his handling it with a kind of bravado. What they both did is handle things with a similar certainty — certainty being the “disease of kings.”
