Just when you begin to think Republicans have stretched the boundaries of reasonableness to the limit, you get statements like this one.

He did not equate sexual abuse with torture.

Amazing.

1. I keep trying to write something here and I am just speechless.

This is madness.

[malaise]

7. Madness is a euphemism.

What went on there was fugging torture.

2. They have kinda fucked up ideas about sex, you must admit

Pornography is in the eyes of the beholder. If Chris Shays finds nude, blindfolded men rolled in shit and stacked in pyramids to be sexually titillating, along with cadavers wrapped in plastic, and naked men cringing from German Shephards--and he's confident that others of his party see it the same way--who are we to doubt him?

3. You didn't get off on those pictures?

You weren't trying hard enough.

:puke:

6. Yea, if naked POW pyramids don't give you a stiffie

you hate America!

8. Santorum really enjoyed the attack dog pics.

4. No wonder all the GOPer politicians are always running over there

when they ain't at the watergate poker games.

5. Hmmm--

Sex with biting, growling, snapping dogs. And for a climax, the dog rips your bone right off.
Has Shays given up weed for something stronger?

He's nuts!

[spinbaby]

9. So they torture because they're perverts?

That's almost as good as they have sex with pages because they're drunks.

10. Just when you thought you've heard everything.

These mentally disturbed lawmakers truly believe they're messengers of God

It's unbelievable!

[Disturbed]

12. The dog accidently bit this guy.

[Justice Is Comin]

11. Step right up and have your nuts wired to a battery.

You should have no fear of sex. We'll demonstrate.

13. And This Comes From a So-Called Reasonable Republican, Not Extremist

... just takes your breath away to fathom how outrageous their view of reality must be for them to think people will be persuaded to agree with their view of things.

[eppur_se_muova]

14. And the corpses packed in ice were ... ?

"Only" there for necrophilia ??

But that wouldn't be as bad as torturing people to death either, would it?

15. Chris Shays has come up with a couple of whoppers the last two days

First he said that at least Hastert didn't kill anyone (making comparisons to Ted Kennedy) and then this. Shays had been one of the more moderate Republicans in Washington. I guess he didn't want that label anymore.

[City Lights]

16. First Kennedy, now Abu Ghraib.

:wtf: is up with Shays. He's always struck me as one of the few sane repubiclowns. He's either really desperate, or he needs to up his meds.

17. C'mon, they're plugged into the main artery of the bullshit pipeline.

That stuff just keeps on flowin'. They don't know how to do anything else.

18. Rape is an act of torture.

I don't care if it occurs in a prison in Iraq or in a home here in the states. Rape is an act of torture.

Torture is any act designed to dehumanize and cause harm to another person. It is an abuse of physical power in attempt to break another person psychologically, emotionally and physically. Anyone who thinks rape is somehow above this is f*cking insane and not fit for leadership.
