...himself picked up the narrative of this fevered impeachment day and twisted it again. He took the extraordinary step, by way of an announcement made by his press secretary, Lockhart, of urging Livingston not to resign. On the House floor, some Democrats did the same, hoping their words would somehow be taken as a white flag: We forgive you, forgive us.

He brings the character to the screen." Hanks also knows how to lighten things...
...correct catch-phrases. Tad's sexuality is at the heart of his existential quest and confusion. He is gay, yet he confesses to his brother: "For some reason, lately, I'm not even sure I actually am gay--most men are disgusting, and self-absorbed! I admire women, but somehow I'm not ready." His brother responds by telling him that "you are more confused than an anal-retentive anarchist. You're thirty-four and think maybe you're still just afraid of girls?" Such statements are conceptions of homosexuality that are not only outdated but offensive in their view...
