Serious Question

Rep. Walter “Freedom Fries” Jones (R-NC) says that Dick Cheney is going to hell for his role in leading this country into war in Iraq. One of the commenters in that article’s thread scoffs at the notion. “Sending Cheney to hell would be like sending Limbaugh to a buffet.”

It does seem like Cheney is possessed by a demon and that he positively revels in his own capacity to spread destruction and misery. But why do we condemn Cheney so easily and not his codpiece-sporting cohort?
