berezovskiy: tanned, rest, and ready?

This past week in my Russian class we watched an RTVI clip of Berezovskiy filmed a few weeks ago in which he discussed Politkovskaya's murder. He looked tanned, rested, and ready, as they used to say of Nixon. (I supposed it's not hard for a billionaire to maintain a villa get-away where he can keep his tan in order.) Not that he could ever be president of Russia, but I couldn't help but think of that phrase that those who wanted to put Nixon back in office used to describe him when he was already, like BAB, a the object of his home country's immense distrust.
