Quote #10
“Seymour, we do not dignify absurdities with coverage. This is still America, god damnit! Who wants a cowboy actor in the White House?” (XII.32.4).
Remember, in Watchmen, Nixon has been president for 16 years. That “cowboy actor” line might wink at Ronald Reagan, but it’s literally about Robert Redford, another R.R. actor, who unlike Reagan is at the left end of the political spectrum.
