RI rep.: Bush should be waterboarded for charity

Thursday, May 21, 2009

(05-21) 10:42 PDT Westerly, R.I. (AP) --

A Rhode Island Democratic lawmaker says he'll donate $100 to charity for every second former President George W. Bush withstands waterboarding.

State Rep. Rod Driver also included former Vice President Dick Cheney and ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in his offer. He sent letters to all three.

Bush's administration allowed the interrogation technique, which simulates drowning, to be used on terror suspects. Driver says that, if Bush is so confident it isn't torture, he should try it for himself. His offer was first reported Thursday in The Westerly Sun.

A spokesman for Bush didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

2. Shoot, we could settle the national debt if they came out with that option.
Good idea! Why don't you suggest that to Bush?

Get Cheney under the bucket, and we'd set up our grandchildren's future free of taxes. I'd take out a loan to pay admittance to that scene.

THAT's how much both are hated in this country.
