Something extraordinary happened today, and it was caught on tape. A conservative talk show host, Erich "Mancow " Muller of Chicago's Big 89, WLS-AM Mancow & Cassidy show, put his money where his mouth was (literally) and agreed to be waterboarded in order to prove that the procedure does not constitute torture. He is the first conservative to show the testicular fortitude to undergo waterboarding; this is said in light of the fact that Sean Hannity, a FOX News mouthpiece, indicated that he would undergo waterboarding for charity and still has to show up; additionally, the ever ubiquitous Dick Cheney continues to talk about the effectiveness of waterboarding in extracting 'valuable' information from detainees, and his daughter, whose only claim to fame are her genes, positively declared today on TV that waterboarding was not torture, and that the prosecution of those who engaged in the practice resulted from 'other things they had done' to prisoners.
