I do NOT suffer fools gladly, Cheney OR Snow

see if you can find where this mt. everest-size pile of steaming horseshit falls apart...

During a conservative radio interview earlier this week, Cheney was asked whether he agreed "that if it takes dunking a terrorist in water, we're all for it, if it saves American lives."

"It's a no-brainer for me," Cheney responded. "But for a while there I was being criticized as the vice president for torture."

Snow told the press that Cheney was denying that his comments were specifically referring to the practice known as "water boarding," which was seen as the first admission by a Bush administration official that terrorist detainees has been subjected to the practice which even some Republican Senators consider torture.

"You know as a matter of common sense that the vice president of the United States is not going to be talking about water boarding. Never would, never does, never will," Snow said. "You think Dick Cheney's going to slip up on something like this? No, come on."

As members of the press challenged Snow over and over again, the White House press secretary insisted that the vice president was maintaining that he did not make any comments about water boarding and that the question asked of Cheney was loosely worded.

if dick cheney is so goddam smart that he wouldn't "slip up on something like this," then he's certainly goddam smart enough to have made it abundantly clear at the time that he was referring to a mere "dunk in the water," NOT waterboarding... he knew absolutely what the fuck he was talking about, and no amount of spinning by tony snow or making accusations of "loosely worded" questions is going to make it otherwise... give us some credit... we're not ALL mental midgets out here...
