Poll question: What is the likelihood ...
... that Hannity will go through with his "waterboard me" for charity stunt?

1. He'll say he would have, but now Keith Olbermann has ruined the idea
:nopity:

2. He'll do it and come out against torture
This will give him a reason/excuse. He will then position himself as a hero to the Left and a rebel to the Right.

Personally, that would be fine with me. The Right is melting down like the Wicked Witch of the South. It couldn't hurt to allow a little sense to leak into Wingnut World.

4. He'll do it - or something that looks like waterboarding - and crack
It stays in line with the GOP line - dodge the question of its legality and say the ends justify the means. Hannity will come out saying it worked on him so it must be a valid interrogation technique.

5. "Uncomfortable, sure -- but I hardly think it's torture"
"By this standard, every YMCA swim teacher would have to be brought before a war crimes tribunal.

This is so typical of an elitist, liberal culture that doesn't understand the threats we face. I suppose they think if we'd just asked KSM nicely, served him som lattes, and put him up in the Islamabad Hilton that he would have spilled his guts.

This, my friends, is why Barack Obama is so dangerous"

What part of this dog-and-pony show am I missing?

7. Hannity's waterboarding needs to be done by homophobic muslims
so that hannity can feel the 'true danger/terror' when his waterboarder's (i.e., torturers) wouldn't care if hannity lived or died.

Mebbe hannity needs to realize that most of his 'audience' wouldn't care if he lived or died either....the news of his death would only be a 24 hour news-cycle. 24 hours or "sympathy" (RIP Hannity, buh-bye, cya, don't let the door hit ya, etc.) .... and then he'd be done & GONE.

9. Right....before I put up money I would want to see someone
that is hostile to him doing the watter boarding...someone that would hold him down until he was almost dead before stoping...that would be the real thing.

11. Jesus I hope not... I don't want to see that happen to anybody
Not even that tool... He's so damn stupid to say that. (And I'm not delighted that Keith seems to be calling him on it . . Hannity is just about stupid enough to take him up on it.)
