On April 23, 2009, Right-wing Bloviator Sean Hannity volunteered to submit to being waterboarded "for charity".
It has now been
A long damn time
since he made this offer, and his nose is still dry.
It's also brown from kissing Bush's ass for eight years.
We all know he won't do it, because he's a pussy.

In case you missed it (and let’s face it, who hasn’t seen this by now), here’s radical nutcase Orly Taitz demonstrating why no one with more than room temperature IQ takes this “movement” seriously:
Wasn’t that fun?
I’m beginning to think the President actually should petition the state of Hawaii to release his “long form” BC, just to shut these morons up. Not that it’ll help. They’ll probably accuse him of forging that as well.
I couldn’t help but notice, in this interview Ms. Taitz is talking from Tel Aviv. I wonder, does she have a green card?
Or, as I like to call it, the walk of shame for the lunatic fringe. Here’s video of our nation’s most prominent conspiracy theorists expounding on their ridiculous lies about President Obama’s birth records. Watch, pay attention, and remember:
Liz Cheney defending the Flat Birth Society
Lout Dobbs revealing his true colors
Senile Watergate criminal and Flat Birther G. Gordon Liddy getting ripped apart by Chris Matthews
Chris Matthews eviscerating Rep. Campbell about the Flat Birth crap
Sean “Waterboard Me” Hannity demonstrating he is, in fact, an idiot, a coward and a fraud
These people and all like them are liars and cowards. Remember them. The only antidote for their lies is repeating the truth, every time you hear one of them speak up. Their arguments are devoid of reason or fact, and should be exposed every time they’re uttered.
Destroy them. Treat them like the cockroaches they are, or this pathetic lie will continue to spread like a cancer.
In 2009, the Party of Lincoln officially has become, 150 years later, the party of Racists, Hypocrites and Liars.
I’m talking about the so-called “Birther Bill” introduced by Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla) earlier this year and co-sponsored by several prominent GOP lawmakers including Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex) and Dan Burton (R-Ind). This bill, which frankly would not have been even conceived of had John McCain won the election last year, would require presidential campaigns to provide a “copy of the candidate’s birth certificate”.
President Obama has already done so, and for the record, of the two men in the race last year, he was the only one actually born on American soil, in an American state. John McCain was born in Panama. Both were born to American citizens, and since this country does not recognize dual citizenship, both are “natural born” citizens as required by the Constitution. No other President’s birth records have been questioned so persistently, nor examined so thoroughly. The only reason these “birthers” are objecting to Obama’s public release of his birth records is because they can’t handle the fact that a black man won.
Apparently they’re fine with black people being sports stars, singers, servants and sex objects, but leadership is a burden to be shouldered only by White Men.
These mindless racists are now demanding that President Obama release a copy of his “long form” birth certificate, a document I very much doubt any of them would be able to produce on demand. And, as I’ve said before, it’s also something none of them would be demanding of John McCain if the election had gone the other way. This has got to stop. Even if he capitulates to their ludicrous demands and releases the long form, there’s little chance the “birthers” will accept it as proof. Instead, they’ll no doubt go on believing it was “forged” or “faked” or otherwise falsified.
Not because there’s any proof of conspiracy, but because they’re idiots. And racists. And hypocrites.
Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president
U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go.
His reason?
Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States.
Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for her client.
In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. … simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.”
Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9.
According to this document, which accompanies Cook’s July 8 application for a temporary restraining order, he has been ordered to report to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday. From there, the Florida resident would go to Fort Benning before deploying overseas.
Documents show Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state.
A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests will take place in federal court here Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
It’s distressing enough to realize that there are still people out there stupid enough to believe this line of bullshit, but it’s even more disheartening to realize that at least one of them is in a position of leadership, responsible for training and mentoring young troops. What kind of example is Maj. Cook setting for the young soldiers he might command? What kind of judgement is he showing by clinging so tightly to such a ridiculous and obvious line of right-wing lies and smears?
None whatsoever. He deserves to be court-martialed, demoted to Private and sent to Fort Leavenworth. He’s a disgrace to himself, the Army, and his country.
If he wanted out of the Army so badly, it would have been better if he’d just told them he was gay.
Update (7/15/09): Major Cook’s deployment orders have been rescinded. In a curious twist to this sordid tale, it turns out the “Major” actually volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan in May of this year, six months after President Obama’s election and four months after his swearing-in. If he had these concerns about the legitimacy of his commander-in-chief, why didn’t he quit the reserves six months ago? Why volunteer to go, and then make up this bogus claim about the President’s birth certificate?
I smell a rat. This looks like a transparent ploy to put this ridiculous conspiracy theory in the national media spotlight. Major Cook is a disgrace to the uniform.
Update 2 (7/15/09):Keith Olbermann reported last night in his “Worst Persons” segment that Major Cook has now lost his job as a Pentagon contractor.
Daddy’s little girl is all growed up and ready to start illegal wars in countries that didn’t attack us.
The Washington Times reports that Liz Cheney, daughter and primary defender of former Vice President and lying scumbag Darth Dick Cheney, has been making noises about running for political office sometime in the future. Read on:
“It’s something I very well may do,” said Elizabeth “Liz” Cheney, a lawyer and State Department appointee who has worked on two Republican presidential campaigns.
Ms. Cheney, 44, has emerged as one of the strongest defenders of the effectiveness and legality of Bush-Cheney policies on enhanced interrogation methods. More recently, she and her father have become two of the most outspoken critics of President Obama’s position on terrorism and other national security issues, which has led Republicans to consider her a strong candidate for national political office.
Ms. Cheney told The Washington Times’ “America’s Morning News” that recent new reports that her father ordered the CIA to hide information from Congress and that a government probe could follow appears like political cover for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats who have accused agency Director Leon Panetta of lying.
“It gets more and more appalling every day,” she said. “I think they’re very worried about Speaker Pelosi.”
Oh, please. This woman is even more detached from reality than her dickhead father is. Anyone who thinks waterboarding isn’t torture and that the CIA tells the truth to Congress and the American people, is an idiot.
I hope she does run for office. I hope she gets her ass handed to her. I hope the weight of her father’s crimes and scandals comes crashing down on her head like a ton of shit. I hope the entire Cheney family gets indicted for war crimes and sent to the gulag their supreme patriarch created.
Hey, kids! Let’s have some fun with right-wing jackass and Faux Noise stuffed suit Sean Hannity! It’s been nearly two months since he said he’d volunteer to be waterboarded “for charity”. He still hasn’t done it, despite the fact that his colleague and friend Erich “Mancow” Muller did, and decided from his experience that it is, in fact, torture.
I’m not entirely sure why Hannity hasn’t done it yet, but I have a theory. You see, like every other right-wing asshat who defends the so-called “enhanced interrogation methods” employed by Dick “Torquemada” Cheney, Hannity is a pussy.
He’s a yellow-bellied, lily-livered, asslicking, lying buffoon.
And next week will be the two-month anniversary of his pussyhood. Let’s all have some fun and send him a pussy to help him celebrate it! Here’s a picture of a nice, wet one that I’m sure he’ll appreciate:
See, it’s even got a yellow background, just like Sean himself! Just download it, copy it, or whatever, and send it with your comments to hannity@foxnews.com. Or send one of your own pictures if you prefer. Please, no pornography though, tempting as it may be. I don’t want to give him any more talking points. Keep it humourous.
Right-Wing bloviator and subhuman waste of flesh Sean Hannity must be regretting last week’s moment of stupidity. You’ll recall (hell, it’s only two posts ago) that Mr. Hannity offered to allow himself to be waterboarded “for the troops’ families”. Well, that night Keith Olbermann called his bluff publicly, offering $1000 per second, if he actually goes through with it. Last night Olbermann found a volunteer to actually do it…
But we all know Hannity won’t do it. He’s a coward and a clueless chickenhawk.
That’s how many times the illegal, unethical, immoral and unjustified “harsh interrogation method” known as waterboarding was used “sparingly” by agents of the CIA under the authorization of the Bush administration.
That’s how many times it was used on two men, both al-Qaeda operatives, AFTER they’d already given up any useful information they had.
This was not interrogation. It was revenge. It was punishment. It was torture.
And it was wrong. The men who wrote the memos authorizing it should be condemned, prosecuted and put in prison for a very long time. The men who did the torture must be brought to justice. And the so-called “leaders” who still, against all available evidence, insist it was necessary we do this to protect our national security should be held accountable to their crimes.
And maybe they should be waterboarded, but that’s not for me to say. I doubt Cheney or Bush would survive even the first five waterboardings, much less 266. Perhaps 266 years in prison for each of them, one year for each time this act of vicious revenge was committed, would suffice.
266. Six times a day for a month for Khalid Shayk Mohammed.
266. That’s what Bush & Cheney thought was “justified.”
266. The new Number of the Beast. Further proof, if we needed it, that neither of them have any morals whatsoever. This was not about protecting America. This was nothing more than abuse. This was torture.
Talk about tortured logic. O’l Rushbo can’t get enough of the taste of his own feet these days. Take this utterly ridiculous statement from a recent broadcast:
LIMBAUGH: The idea that torture doesn’t work- that’s been put out from John McCain on down- You know, for the longest time McCain said torture doesn’t work then he admitted in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last summer that he was broken by North Vietnamese. So what are we to think here?
As reported by ThinkProgress.org, Limbaugh once again took a statement completely out of context and twisted it to suit his own needs. While McCain did, in fact, say that the VC “broke” him during a torture session, you need to dig a little deeper to find the truth. I’ll let McCain’s own words speak for themselves:
Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant. Pressed for more useful information, I gave the names of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line, and said they were members of my squadron. When asked to identify future targets, I simply recited the names of a number of North Vietnamese cities that had already been bombed. – Faith of My Fathers
And this quote from a 2005 Newsweek interview sums it up nicely:
“In my experience, abuse of prisoners often produces bad intelligence because under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to hear — whether it is true or false — if he believes it will relieve his suffering.”
In other words, torture doesn’t work.
So, in answer to Rush’s question, what are we to think here? How about “Rush, you’re a fat, lying, puffed-up, egotistical, narcissistic jackass and a coward.” How about “Rush, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and should keep your fat pie-hole shut.” Or how about just “Rush, fuck off and die, you useless coward.”
