GOP Nominee Litmus Test

Will you or will you not protect U.S. officials who order the torture of prisoners?

by the inestimable Chris Floyd

"Meanwhile, the torturing will go on. The Bush Regime doesn't even try to hide it anymore; in fact, they are rubbing it in the faces of the slack-jawed goobers in Congress: "Hey, how about our boy Mukasey? He won't even condemn waterboarding, an atrocious practice that's been outlawed and denounced for hundreds of years -- and which our own government used to prosecute as a war crime -- and you're still going to approve his nomination! Yeah, we're waterboarding, all right. We're waterboarding out the wazoo. We're waterboarding like there's no tomorrow. Hell, we even go out back and waterboard the dogs sometimes. You oughta hear them bitches squeal, it's a real hoot! And waterboarding is just the tip of the iceberg, baby, just one of the treasure trove of 'intensive questioning' techniques we've scooped up from the KGB and North Korea and the Saudis and the Egyptians and the Israelis and Genghis Herbert Walker Khan. It's out there, Clyde, high and wide, we're not ashamed of it. And you're gonna swallow it, ain't you? You're just going to lay back of your own volition -- we won't even have to tie you down -- you'll put the rag on your own face yourself and say, Pour it on, big daddy, waterboard me!"
