Preening Self-Righteousness

It's hard to believe that this band of ignorant maniacs is, almost 5 years later, still prancing around more worried about their bruised egos and their reputations than the carnage they helped to unleash on the world.

Is there a word like wanker, but like wanker to the trillionth power? A wanker-plex?


Yes, we know, we've read it a billion times. Even though you helped to kill hundreds of thousands of people you're still much smarter and, more importantly, much more morally sophisticated than everybody who said "maybe this is a bad idea." The nerve of some people! They insult you!

I really don't understand the process by which such people are created. Dropped on their heads sounds like too simple an explanation, but perhaps there it is.
