Reply #1: Ummm... let's put this in perspective....

He's probably not wrong, in this sense. If I were to strip Bush naked, put a bit in his mouth and ride him like a donkey, put a hood on him and beat him within an inch of his life, then forced him to jack off in front of Helen Thomas, then give him a few jolts in the gonads with a telephone generator, then stick a broken chemical light up his ass, and let some backwoods female lead him around on a leash, then take pictures of it all for general amusement, how the hell would he feel?

Anyone would be humiliated and damaged.

Bush wouldn't want those pictures published... especially so soon before the election.

I choose Bush as an example only because Randi Rhodes has said that Rumsfeld might enjoy it....
