Hmmmm.... Let me think about that.

Let's just cut to the chase and handcuff Cheney and Pelosi to a radiator in a CIA safe house somewhere.
Uh-oh. Nancy Pelosi's performance at her press conference re: waterboarding has raised, according to The Washington Post, "troubling new questions about the Speaker's credibility." The dreaded T-word: "troubling." I doubt it will "trouble" the media for long, or at least not to the extent of bringing the Pelosi Speakership to a sudden end – and needless to say I'm all in favor of Nancy remaining the face of Congressional Democrats until November 2010. But her inconsistent statements do suggest a useful way of looking at America's tortured "torture" debate: Question: What does Dick Cheney think of waterboarding?

He's in favor of it. He was in favor of it then, he's in favor of it now. He doesn't think it's torture, and he supports having it on the books as a vital option. On his recent TV appearances, he sometimes gives the impression he would not be entirely averse to performing a demonstration on his interviewers
LOL!
Don't sugar coat it Mark....
“More from The Greatest Living Writer......”
I write a fair amount, and I’d have to agree with you. Lines like this are absolutely priceless:
“Over at The New York Times, the elderly schoolgirl Maureen Dowd”
No, I mean really. Away from the cameras, away from the Capitol, in the deepest recesses of her (if she'll forgive my naïveté) soul. Sitting on a mountaintop, contemplating the distant horizon, chewing thoughtfully on a cranberry-almond granola bar, what does she truly believe about waterboarding?
By Monday all the media will be back writing about pot pies.

Ping for later
Hmmmm.... Let me think about that.
Steyn ping!
I like Steyn more and more.
At least the greatest living conservative polemicist. And all without benefit of a college education.
Right on the mark!
Steyn is a self made man? Good for him.
Watching the Democrats champing at the bit last week, I thought perhaps we could cut to the chase and handcuff Cheney and Pelosi to a radiator in the basement of a CIA safe house somewhere. But on reflection this would be an unacceptable level of torture. It would be ungallant to say for whom.
Which I tell you all quite frankly is why we are losing in Afghanistan by increments. Islam understands a war of attrition as well as they understand barbarity.
NATO ROE are losing the war for us. But "We had to have a coalition!" Thank you very mush Colin Powell...
“The Big Tent is a Big Mistake”
A good question from the press would be: When did it dawn on you that you could use waterboarding as a political issue with which to bludgeon the Bush Administration?
I like that so much, and it is so true, it deserves to be a tagline.
edit
It's the Miss USA standard of political integrity: Carrie Prejean and Barack Obama have the same publicly stated views on gay marriage. But the politically correct enforcers know that Barack doesn't mean it, so that's okay, whereas Carrie does, so that's a hate crime. In the torture debate, Pelosi is Obama and Dick Cheney is Carrie Prejean. Dick means it, because to him this is an issue of national security. Nancy doesn't, because to her it's about the shifting breezes of political viability.
Which explains why he is such a good writer!
