Shearer's offbeat way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Nixon resignation is to analyze tapes of the soon-to-be ex-President from shortly before his resignation speech.  The second half, where Shearer's old colleagues Lander and McKean (yes, Squiggy and Lenny), appear on an infomercial, with Shearer as "Rich" Nixon, is better.
