The Nine Senators who voted for torture: Who were they?
Last night the Daily show mentioned the 9 who were for torture, but didn't say who all nine were. Does anyone know? I can't find what any names.

2. I wonder if they're into some sick kind of BDSM?
The type that would make Sniffa have a schism.

5. WTF is with Coburn? I don't get him...
He cries at SCOTUS confirmation hearings about partisanship. He says pro-choice people are evil, or damn close. He said Terri Schiavo should be kept alive because he could so through the words written in the autopsy and the video that there was a chance for her. He says he can tell if someone is lying simply by watching body language. And......

HE VOTES AGAINST BANNING TORTURE!!!!



How on earth does that make any sense???!!! Is it, abortion is evil...but electric shocks and sexual humiliation are not?


But here's my theory on what to do with him...

If he's do good at telling if someone is lying by body language, make him sit and watch torture sessions so he can put his good knowledge to use and tell us if the suspected terrorist is telling the truth. Make him watch the agonized screams of his fellow human beings and guide us to the validity of what that man says.

Hell, make them all watch for a while.
