America Can Seem So Derived...

The Clinton/Lewinsky scandal? Oil for food fraud? Lying about why we invaded Iraq?

I'm not one to give governments a pass, but checkout Quetzalcoatl's resume.

Getting drunk and taking it up the tailpipe, then setting sail to be King somehwere else? That trumps even Andrew Jackson and some of the other anti-heroes of American Presidencies.

In a way, I suppose it trumps being the canniballistic dictator of some poor African country or the genocidal maniac in charge of a Southeast Asian dystopia who lives the life or Reilly and dies of natural causes under the umbrella of such liberal democracies as Saudi Arabia.

How sadly unoriginal, that our own Presidents don't quite manage to reach the scale of some conquered Indian culture's shamed figureheads, but only seem to be pale immitations.
