Oh, God, a thousand times YES!!!!!!!! This torture business may be causing me sleepless nights, due to the sheer enormity of the evil we’re talking about, but at least it’s leading to hilarious developments now and again.

First, Christopher Hitchens got waterboarded, an act suggested by his editor because of Hitch’s reputation as a total asshole spectacular journalist:

And now, even douchier Sean Hannity just offered to be waterboarded for charity.

From Charles Grodin (he has a show?):

GRODIN: You’re for torture.

HANNITY: I am for enhanced interrogation.

GRODIN: You don’t believe it’s torture. Have you ever been waterboarded?

HANNITY: No, but Ollie North has.

GRODIN: Would you consent to be waterboarded? We can waterboard you?

HANNITY: Sure.

GRODIN: Are you busy on Sunday?

HANNITY: I’ll do it for charity. I’ll let you do it. I’ll do it for the troops’ families.

Is this what “hopegasm” feels like?
