GOP Senator Says Waterboarding Is "Like Swimming, Freestyle, Backstroke"
Talking Points Memo | David Kurtz | December 12, 2007 09:17 AM


GWEN IFILL: I just would like to -- but do you think that waterboarding, as I described it, constitutes torture?

SEN. KIT BOND: There are different ways of doing it. It's like swimming, freestyle, backstroke.


:grr:

[underpants]

1. Sorry Senator that doesn't float

:grr:

[marylanddem]

2. Evil, evil, evil response

But then, whether it's this Republican a**hole or another, the cold-heartedness just oozes out of their pores. Bond LOOKS cold-blooded, with hooded eyelids...

[zabet]

3. Waterboard him and

see if he answers
the same way after
expeiencing it. Make
sure someone is standing
there yelling, "swim...
SWIM! It is just a day
at the pool!!!"
:grr:

4. Let's let him try 15 minutes of it.

Then ask him.

5. Kit Bond is an idiot and a drunk

His word means NOTHING.

[Vanje]

6. I'd like to see the Senator demonstrate ...

...by submitting to a waterboarding on TV.

If its like having a little swim (A day at the beach!), lets clear up the misconception.

[MaineDem]

7. Holy shit!

What an arse!

[unpossibles]

8. you have to remember that ignorance and misinformation

both serve their purpose, which it to muddy the issues. Look what they've done to Global Climate Change and Evolution.

[ORDagnabbit]

9. I keep waiting for somebody to to waterboard a politician in public and see how they like it..

[whistle]

10. There needs to be a photo of this dope posted so that we can see

...what a real Inquisitor looks like

[Bluebear]

11. Yes, it's JUST like synchronized swimming, "Kit".

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Maybe Sen. Bond could give us a demonstration of how one swims being tied down,

with their legs elevated, and a cloth over their face?
