If waterboarding won't break Pelosi, threaten to withhold her Botox.
So much for “looking forward”.
Well, if government officials are to be prosecuted for approving “torture,” shouldn’t we include Congress? After all, Congress was fully briefed and approved of the “enhanced” interrogation tactics used by the CIA. But then, that would mean Congress would have to investigate and prosecute itself. You know, kind of like Barney Frank fixing the financial mess he helped create.
The Wall Street Journal notes in its “Presidential Poison” editorial that Bush officials won’t (or shouldn’t) be the only ones on the hot seat if this goes forward: “Congress will face questions about what the Members knew and when, especially Nancy Pelosi when she was on the House Intelligence Committee in 2002.
The Speaker now says she remembers hearing about waterboarding, though not that it would actually be used. Porter Goss, her GOP counterpart at the time, says he knew exactly what he was hearing and that, if anything, Ms. Pelosi worried the CIA wasn’t doing enough to stop another attack. By all means, put her under oath.
Here’s an idea that might help jog Pelosi’s memory as to what she actually heard and approved:
Waterboard ‘er.

putting pelosi on the stand would only lead to perjury. the woman couldn’t tell the truth if it meant she’d get her next botox for free. however, it defies logic to think that the intelligence subcommittee would get a full briefing on waterboarding if the government wasn’t planning on using it. pelosi’s comments so far amount to — I didn’t understand what the government’s definition of is, is. as in — we is gonna waterboard those sons a bitches until they tell us what they are up to.
Seems this consensus is coming together:

If she ever sticks that pretentious, bony finger in my face, I am going break it off. She doesn’t answer questions, she lectures. And the space in her head could be used for something more useful than storing botox, she is a idiot.
