Ha! I knew there was something I liked about Jesse Ventura (I just couldn’t for the life of me recall what it was.) That’s a pretty priceless comment.

Also; who the hell is the guy who they brought in to do the waterboarding in that video? More than a little bizarre.

Viva Nancy Pelosi.

I join everyone in hoping it doesn’t happen, but, eventually, the U.S. will be hit by terrorists again and the doves of pre-9/11 who became the hawks of post-9/11 who drifted back to being doves will once again be hawks.

At least Cheney is consistent.

After Waterboard, Mancow Submits to 9/11-Style Attack
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2009-05-23) — After submitting himself to waterboarding, then calling it ‘absolutely torture’, WLS talkradio host Erich ‘Mancow’ Muller announced that next week on his show he’ll stand by a shattered window in a burning office tower and decide whether to jump or to perish in the flames.

Marine Corps Sgt. Clay South should take this show on the road so that every Bush/Cheney apologist can experience waterboarding. Announce a tour schedule and have every local Republican Committee Chairman publicly declare whether they believe that 1) Waterboarding is torture, and 2)torture is a crime. A “no” to either or both questions receives a challenge to experience waterboarding. A refusal to be waterboarded gets your name added to the List and a donation to Sgt. South’s Veterans of Valor. Knowing that most apologists are really fear-controlled cowards, the fundraising strategy should assume a cowards response.

James, I’ve truncated your comment and provided a link to the story, since posting the whole thing is outside of the bounds of fair use.

Fair ’nuff. I don’t know how to link within comments, Waldo. Does merely putting the address suffice?

And my apology for the inconvenience of having to do so.

I just wish I’d thought of saying what Scott did.

Good question, James—I don’t know. Let’s try it out:

Well, thanks, Waldo. I may have to bookmark this thread. Don’t normally get reliable information here, but … ;-)
