From the ‘No Shit, Sherlock’ Department
Warmonger and Shrubya Lovah Christopher Hitchens decides, after 10 seconds of ‘treatment,’ that waterboarding is torture. I particularly liked the caption to this so-called ‘news’ article:
“Author and journalist Christopher Hitchens says it was difficult finding someone who would agree to waterboard a man of 60.”
He obviously didn’t try too hard – I’d be happy to waterboard him! Right after ‘boarding Limbaugh, Coulter, Savage, ad nauseum. I guess the issue wasn’t finding somebody who would waterboard him though, but rather – somebody who would be willing to stop after only 10 seconds of what Limbaugh once termed ‘hazing.’
Does it strike you that Mr. Hitchens is in that twilight mode of any celebrity’s career, “struggling to stay relevant?”
Stumble it!

I’d amend “struggling to stay relevant” to “struggling to stay sober.”
/snark off
I loathe the man. He and Coulter should be set out to sea in a small boat. No booze for him, no vials of blood for her.

Hitchens probably figured that the normal level of alcohol in his blood stream would act as a buffer mechanism for water-boarding. Maybe be should have requested wine-boarding.
And it’s no surprise that a blind prescription drug addict would consider water-boarding as hazing.

It amazes me that if it was an American that was being ‘water boarded’ then everyone would be having a cow and wanting heads to roll. Are we no better than who we went to Iraq to stop? I think so, or thought so anyway. I’m beginning to wonder though.

Er KeeKee – he *asked* to be waterboarded. For some reason known only to himself.

KeeKee, Hitchens asked to be waterboarded because he wanted to impress the cool kids.
