Eric “Mancow” Muller is being tortured this morning on WLS. They have a marine in the studio to waterboard him. He doesn’t currently think it’s torture, but he’s about to find out otherwise, according to the ex-marine in the studio with him.
Updates to come.
It’s actually pretty compelling radio, and I sit here and wait for Mancow to prove what I already think: Dick Cheney is an evil, torture-approving prick.
Mancow is now laying on the table (10:18 AM). He says he suddenly feels amazingly nervous.
10:19 – Marine says he’ll probably puke up his recently consumed sandwich.
10:20 – Marine says the average person will only last 14 seconds.
UPDATE:
10:21 – Wet cloth being put over Mancow’s face, Mancow is laying on board. Pat Cassidy (co-host) calling “play by play”.
10:22 – countdown being given…water being poured…Mancow lasts maybe 3 seconds.
10:23 – Asking if he wants EMT…he says “no”, but he says it’s “way worse than I thought, I never considered this torture….it was instantaneous…I don’t want to say this, but it’s absolutely torture. I absolutely felt like I was drowning.”
10:24 “If I knew it was going to be this bad, I wouldn’t have done it. No way in hell would I have done that if I’d have known it was this bad. It’s torture.” Cassidy sends it to break, says EMT will be checking Mancow out.
More proof, this time from a guy who WANTED it NOT to be torture to continue to back Cheney.

I feel the same way when I have to endure the pounding from one of those ghetto boom cars.

I loved the interview on Larry King that Jesse Ventura gave aboout waterboarding, Cheney, et al. He said Cheney had 5 deferments during the Vietnam War……thats one thing I didnt realize.

Journalist/author Christopher Hitchens was also a stalwart opponent of the idea that waterboarding is torture… then he submitted himself to it and came to the conclusion it was indeed torture. This was a few years ago, way before Bandwagon Muller. Think Sean Hannity will actually go through with it?
I don’t. He seems like kind of a pussy if you ask me.
