Cheney in "Progress Land"

Wearing the truss on the outside. Another "surprise" on a level with when you open the door after you hear a knock and discover there's a burning bag of shit there. Something, I would guess, the Cheney family is familiar with -- only it's disguised as Lynne's special "Bananas Foster".

Cheney, of course, loves Iraq for many reasons. It's made him a lot of money, it's given him a reason to snarl even more, and, as this trip will prove, it's a great place to dump bodies.

But thank goodness he's bringing his daughter Liz with him so she can write a Washington Post editorial in the next few weeks that will not mention who her daddy is.

God bless America.
