On Friday, the House of Representatives unveiled a marble
bust of Dick Cheney in the Emancipation Hall of the U.S. Capital. Instead of
putting Cheney and the rest of the Bush administration in jail for crimes
against humanity, he is honored with a statue and lauded by those attending the
ceremony (including Vice President Joe Biden) for his illusionary service to
his country.
To mark this display of unbelievable hubris, I offer this
new definition of American Exceptionalism: If you are exceptionally rich and
powerful, you can get away with anything.
