Lib(by)erty and Justice For All

In his 1996 comedy special "Bring The Pain," Chris Rock joked about the unlikelihood of a Black Vice-President of the United States. His reasoning? A Black man would then shoot the President, thus vaulting the VP into the office. And his punishment? A pardon by the new Black President! This "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" notion generated some major laughs, albeit uncomfortable at first, due to the clearly unethical nature of the acts in question. That would mean there was no such thing as accountability in the government!

It's a good thing we live in a country where that sort of obvious cronyism doesn't occur. No sirree, not on our watch!
