It was buried in a ceremony behind the Vice President's residence after being creamated. A wake was held in the oval office afterward attended by all major media personnel and members of the Democratic and Republican leadership as well as most DC lobbying firms.

Well, Spankytheyankee, guess that means that the Great United States of America, Beacon of Liberty and Justice to the whole free world, is no better than a bunch of terrorists living in caves on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. Might be why we haven't gone in and cleaned their clocks...instead we're busy showing the world we're as much a danger to world security as Al Qaida. “I was just thumbing througth Al Qieda’s hand book and surprisingly they have no provisions for habeas corpus…”
