Not only royalty is afflicted with the virus of arrogance. Uncrowned heads are also dizzy with preposterous idiocy. Prince Philippe of Belgium has no power, will never have any and is only uttering nonsensical gibberish.
On to another power holder without much power, Israel's president Moshe Katsav, standing accused of rape, abuse of power, obstruction of justice, fraud, sexual harassment and breach of trust. Clinging to his ceremonial power even when his prime minister is calling for his resignation and the Knesset is starting impeachment procedures. At least he can be impeached, royalty usually can only be thrown out manu military from their imperial palaces.
The third arrogant dickhead, unlike the former two, does have a lot of power and his arrogance far exceeds Philippe and Katsav's. Dick Cheney, vice president of the United States, is no doubt the most arrogant of all. “Talk of blunders in Iraq is hogwash”, according to the veep. Sure, everything is going America's way in the land of the Euphrates and the Tigris. Even if Congress passes a resolution opposing a troop increase, Cheney will go ahead. American-style democracy, never mind the votes of the electorate, never mind the elected representatives in Congress, Dick is staying the course.
The world is safer because the U.S. ousted Saddam, Hillary Clinton should not be president because “she is a Democrat” and Ronald Rumsfeld did a superb job during his six years as defense secretary. (CNN: Talk of blunders in Iraq is 'hogwash')
Can arrogance get any worse than this?
