Yesterday, the House of Representatives unveiled a marble bust of former Vice President Cheney, which — until a person of conscience vandalizes or destroys it — will reside in Emancipation Hall of the U.S. Capitol. Along with George W. Bush, one of the speakers in attendance was Vice President Joe Biden.”
