Jesse Ventura: “The Body” Politic

The Body is making a lot of sense recently.

From here you can watch some clips of him weighing in on the Minnesota Senate race, plus his disdain of Dick Cheney and that prick’s love of torture.

He repeats his charge today on The View. Which is funny because Survivor Girl really should stop trying to be the Voice of Conservatism when pitted against folks who have more than two brain cells to rub together. Today, as always, she is made the insipid fool.

The Tortured Logic of the Torture Superfans

Bob starts this entry on torture loving idiots. And truly, how degenerate are you that you can call yourself a Christian AND lust after torturing people at the same time?

Over at Political Irony, some more deep thought has been put into confronting this issue. Arianna Huffington frames it as it should be considered, as a “What does this say about America?” question.

Meanwhile, even FAUXNews talking heads like Shepard Smith question his network’s stance, not to mention the GOP’s, on cheerleading torture. To be fair, Smith is the only employee over there who doesn’t drink all of Murdoch’s Kool-aid, but still a bold move for him, if genuine:

Cliff May is an idiot who thankfully doesn’t get on my TV often, but his angle is that we HAVE to torture Muslims because their religion forbids them from talking to us. Dolt.

It doesn’t matter that the only reason we tortured was apparently to get some detainees to admit to a non-existant link between al-Qaeda and Saddam. It doesn’t matter that according to the FBI, torture did NOT foil ANY terrorist plots.

Indeed, say it with me: Torture NEVER Works. Not for the Spanish Inquisition, the Nazis, the KGB, a pack of Neanderthal hunters. Not the Bush-era CIA or roving bands of West Virginia National Guardsmen and -women. It. Does. Not. Produce. Viable. Intelligence.

Ever.

More from Rachel Maddow interviewing Ron Suskind.

An FBI interrogator says Bush and Company lies about any intelligence gains from torture.

And Bill O’Reilly proves to be more of an inhuman beast the more he speaks on the issue.

(Well, video got pulled but you could probably imagine the sick glee.)

To get the taste of THAT out of your mouth, we close with Jon Stewart’s take from earlier this week.

(This video, too, has been scrubbed. There were actually an additional three vids of him interviewing Cliff May, which are also gone.)

Have you seen this jerk?

I woke up this morning and got online, only to be told by a buddy in Singapore to turn on the TV right now! I did, and like most of you got to see the pathetic wasteoid above being probed like a prize cow at the fair.

This, of course, is good news. And while we all get some smug satisfaction out of it, I hope our administration can make the most out of this with other countries. I think we can slap each other on the back and still be somewhat humble about it. As this article states, my brother and probably someone you know still has to go over there are clean up a few messy situations. Let’s just hope not having Saddam around makes that job a lot easier.
