It's absolutely torture

[rumorsofwar.livejournal.com]

You've got to hand it to conservative shock jock Mancow. He's got the balls to put his money where his mouth is, unlike a certain squealy-voiced loud-mouth to whom I will anonymously refer as "Inannity".

Basically Mancow just volunteered to be waterboarded, because, hey, it's not like it's torture or anything! How long would you guess he lasted? A minute? Thirty seconds? Fourteen seconds? Try six seconds. It took him a tenth of a minute to leap up and declare that it was torture.

Video of the incident and Mancow's own admission that waterboarding is, in fact, torture behind the cut:

I'm a firm believer in just getting them drunk.

And a ham sandwich for that hangover.

It would be a million time more effective...

Which is as against the religion of Islam as eating pork is for Jews.

Brilliant, Holmes.

Are you going to come up with the next bright idea that we should have laws to determine who is and isn't an Arab, as all Arabs are terrorists (leaving aside that our current bugaboo isn't even Arab)?

Actually many of the 9/11 hijackers were drinkers, gamblers, and womanizers. I wouldn't put a ham sandwich past any of them.

Actually, terrorists seldom tend to be faithful to whatever ideology they espouse anyway.

That kind of mindset is incompatible with most ideologies prior to the totalitarian ones, which enshrined it. Didn't the Communists start the whole "Anything for the Revolution" horseshit?
