Nixon : The Horse

“ ‘Nixon : The Man?’

As opposed to what? 

‘Nixon : The Horse?’ “

— Richard Milhous Nixon, 

Realest MFer of All Time

MEANING  — 

Richard “The Man” Nixon 

WAS 

Richard “President” Nixon

and

vice versa

ONE AND THE SAME

Richard Nixon once told his shrink, after being persuaded to submit to himself Psychoanalysis, that when he got up each morning and looked into The Mirror, 

There Was No-one There.

The customary human reaction from most unenlightend people is to glance at the face in the mirror and either feel  pleased or disappointed -

Either what they see in their reflection 
satisfies their vanity 
 and 
stokes-up their pride

OR

They find fault with it, 
become depressed 
and
hypercritical —

Richard Nixon used it as a tool 
and point of reference 
to help him shave.
