Water Boarded for Charity?

Keith Olbermann offers $1000/second to charity for every second Hannity can tolerate water boarding.

Keith Olbermann had Lawrence O'Donnell on tonight and asked about this. It's not up on YouTube yet. Sorry but it'll be worth your while to view it when it shows up.
O'Donnell called Hannity and everyone in the Cheney family cowards. He stated that they're convinced water boarding works because they know it would work on them, since they are soft fearful people who would do anything to avoid putting themselves in a position of significant danger. To his credit, O'Donnell included himself in the same group.

I was reminded of my spring weekend more than 40 years ago. We went to an amusement part on Saturday afternoon and everyone got very drunk. One of the amusements was a water cooler sized machine with two copper balls on the top. You put in a penny, held on to the copper balls with your two hands, and got knocked on your ass by a shock. There was a line with more than a hundred people in it all day long. Maybe there should be a "water boarding" amusement at parks. Maybe they'll have one at Disneyland soon.
