 Other characters include two tabloid journalists who discover the Communist weapons, but are killed; a rear admiral who is openly homosexual (appropriately enough, since "rear admiral" is also apparently slang for a man who practices anal sex), two security guards who accompany President Adams everywhere (even when she is going swimming) and a former president (a parody of Richard Nixon), who is now in prison and authored the book "Commie Bastards I Have Known".Although Wendy is rescued, Sir Mortimer ignores Adams' pleas to call off the nuclear strike.She then calls the rear admiral (whom Lacrobat hypnotised to imagine he was in a burning building when fingers are snapped).
