Andre was not a swell talker, and Heenan lays it out on Andre's behalf: The Giant received a trophy recognizing him as the greatest athlete in pro wrestling, only for Hulk Hogan to come out, rattling off a prepared speech and grandstanding his way to leeching from Andre's moment of adulation.

As these pontificating, grandstanding politicians stand in the well of the House ranting and raving impeachment of the president, or cable network talking heads spewing forth the same diatribe, these people seem to be of the opinion impeachment is the first and final stage of removing a president from office.

But as I read the transcript of the oral argument on the injunction, the Justice Department believes the executive order was little more than political grandstanding - and that the executive branch doesn't have a constitutional right to wield Congress-approved federal funding to states and cities as a bludgeon to beat them into compliance with its policies.

This is the only instance of heart in the show, a scene of real physical pain and confusion, and Close plays it to the hilt, but not hysterically, because she has something to hold on to as an actress, a reprieve from the endless mugging and grandstanding, which we know is just another form of self-loathing, dressed up in drag and played to the balcony, where the "boys" sit worshipping every man-generated blow to the heart, every mascara-stained moment. ♦

I will say, though, that the top-down moral structure of the superhero universe — in which the battles of good guys and bad guys relegate the rest of humanity to the status of victims, spectators and abstractions in whose name the wars are supposedly fought — is not so different from what peeks out amid the hectic pseudo-realism of Beltway- or Westeros-centric TV. The focus of interest in both cases is on the forms and procedures of politics, the behind-the-scenes scheming and public grandstanding that determines who controls what.
