CONFIRMED. So they gathered them all up from radio studios across this mighty land this week, and they threw them across the White House grounds. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, never has there been such a concentration of worthless bloviation collected in that hallowed place since the last time Warren Harding dined alone. Anyway, you just knew it would be a treasure trove of pure distilled wingnut poteen. And sure enough, courtesy of the invaluable Jonathan Landay, the folks at TPM found a tall glass of the real stuff right here.
Let us be entirely clear here. Vice-President Shoot-'em-In-The-Face doesn't believe that waterboarding is torture. John McCain believes it is. Waterboarding will continue. The "compromise" bill McCain crafted isn't worth the matches they used to set it on fire in the White House. John McCain either doesn't give a damn or he's an utter sap. There is no third alternative.
