Amid all the pomp and circumstance of the Inauguration, there was one cathartic moment that slipped through the cracks. If you missed it, it’s worth watching: Six-and-a-half minutes of commentary-free footage of Cheney and Bush exiting the Capitol on a fittingly cold, windswept January day. First there’s Cheney, looking positively Strangelovian in his dark gloves and wheelchair, being ushered into the back of a black limo. Then Dubya, smirking and posturing to the end, boards a helicopter with longsuffering Laura at his side, and as the thing slowly disappears into the gray, tumid sky you’re left with an odd mixture of anger and release. Even though they almost assuredly won’t be held accountable for their crimes, they’re gone. At long last, they’re gone. –JS
