Don't Waterboard Me, Bro'

Does anyone else find it painfully ironic that Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) is giving another person -- W's attorney general nominee Mike Mukasey -- grief about a procedure involving WATER??? I wonder what Mary Jo Kopechne thinks about waterboarding...Wait...she's dead. She can't comment on the procedure, thanks to Kennedy's cowardly actions that night at Chappaquiddick. I wonder if waterboarding is like laying unconscious in a car filling with water while your rich and connected boyfriend escapes and saves his own life, leaving you to die while his family plans the cover-up? If there's any politician who should keep his besotted mouth shut on the subject of H2O, it's this liberal gasbag. In any case, Kennedy should at least wait ten hours after Mukasey's confirmation to voice his opposition, which wold keep his standards in line with his past behavior. Ted, you're not fooling me or anyone else who's paying attention here.

By the way, the liberal Democrats are more interested in semantics than the results of interrogations that could provide information critical to stopping potential terror operations against the U.S. "Oh, no...Achmed may suffer a bit of discomfort during the interview process!" Here's my spin on waterboarding: if a suspect is waterboarded and we get information that saves American lives, then it's not torture. If interrogators don't get anything useful, then it's just another fun party game to share with your friends during halftime of the Super Bowl.
