And the Award Goes To.....
 To
no one's surprise the Gutless Jackass of the Week Award goes
to Fox News' own Sean Hannity (Seen in file photo at left.).
You know about this, right?
Sean Hannity thinks that "enhanced interrogation" employing
waterboarding is perfrectly acceptable and he has spent the
past hundred days
making insidious insinuations towards Mr. Obama's lineage
because of his opposition to the procedure.
So on April 22, Hannity had an on-air discussion
with Charles Grodin
about
waterboarding whereupon, in the heat of the moment,
Mr. Grodin asked if he'd commit to being waterboarded
himself, just to prove a point. Caught off guard Hannity
unwisely
replied "Yeah, sure."
I mean, what else could he say? Heh-heh-heh.
The next day on MSNBC's Countdown Keith Olbermann
gleefully asked when Mr. Hannity would undergo the procedure. KO
then offered to send $1000 dollars, from his own pocket,
to charity for every second Mr. Hannity endures the process.
It's
now been two weeks and, so far, not a word from Mr. Big Mouth
about when and where. What a surprise.
--------
On a more serious note,
waterboarding is torture. No ifs, ands or
butts. With any luck, history will write of the day when
those in
the Bush
administration responsible
for such abominations will be punished for their
crimes.
Until then Republicans and their surrogates at Fox News have
no choice but to act like nothing's wrong and to continually
pound out the message that there's "torture" and then there's
"torture". And being virtually drowned 182 times
in one month certainly isn't "torture".
See?
In their wildest and wettest dreams they'd
like nothing better than for these same tortures
to be committed
at the behest of Mr. Obama. Because then that lets them off
the hook.
Ahhhhhh!
So bring on the special prosecutors. Drill 'em, baby! And drill
now!
