Boehner: Memos Outline "Torture Techniques"

[ComradeSephiroth]

I'm surprised this blunder didn't get labeled "Boehner's Greatest Boner" by the blog world, in honor of the 1951 Batman comic.

[ComradeSephiroth]

THANKS BONER! I appreciate your honesty on this one. It takes a real man to call torture what it is in today's political climate.

[CynicalSavior]

Thanks for admitting that the president who was from your party authorized "torture".

That's all we wanted to hear.

[MooseOfReason]

He just couldn't think of another word. I wouldn't celebrate him saying "torture techniques."

[DoctorMeh]

Yeah, I agree, but it's definitely the gaff of the year.

[taoofmichael]

Remember in the movie Easy Rider, when the toothless southern hicks shoot Dennis Hopper off his American-made Harley, for being a long-haired hippy?

NOW ALL THE HICKS HAVE LONG HAIR (and blond streaks.) My point?

THE REPUBLICANS WILL EVENTUALLY GET ON BOARD WITH REALITY -- in 30 years!! When it is way too late to make any difference, and way out of style. Only they'll do it in the faggiest way possible (see Keith Urban, Billy Ray Cyrus.)

Why wait Republicans? Get on the Soul Train now!!

[Richardgwm]

We are witnessing the death of the Republican party, and it is a suicide.

[ArtThroughtheAges]

sounds like he's already prosecuted, tried, and sentenced them.

Where's he from, anyway? TEXAS!?

[marniespeaks]

the GOP is hell bent on destroying th republic

[GabrielGrewal]

do these republicans have anything important to say

[sti1es]

scaredy boner

[appatel]

This bosso does not understand the justice system.

The prisoners at gitmo are suspect, we did not run trial & proved them guilty. So you can not call criminals or terrorist.

While have all the opportunity to prosecute them, Bush did not. We lost PR war at world stage.

[Hereticbooks]

Was that a "freudian slip" when he said "torture tecniques?"

[twistlaw]

America doesn't do torture, only "torture techniques."

[baddmanaz]

again, no substance

[JayGottiII]

no my friend...this was the most substance filled statement in the past 10 years....the admission was the substance

[neverlookback75]

lol...boner...

[PersonalJesus348]

Hey beavis, this guy is a boob

[thpt]

Hm, so now they're torture techniques. What happened to "it's not torture, america never tortures"?

[uru86]

Oh Republicans are REAL rich...

[WKaliberr]

Boehner will be involved in some gay sex controversy in a few months. Just watch and see. Such "macho" anti-gay conservatives are 99% of the time closet cases.

[discountBush]

Boehner has obviously been watching too much of the "liberal" media. Who knows, if he keeps it locked on CNN, maybe he will be turned enough to testify at Cheney's trials!

[seesitnow4sure]

Was planting thermite explosives in the world trade center in the best interest of the american people?You Dickhead

[cat00012000]

I can't believe the right wing is still holding on to this guy. Turn him loose! Stick a fork in him. He's done. Do something! Being boring is the cruelest sin

[uclaztec2]

I love watching these republican hate mongrols squirm about torture because they all know deep down that the people who allowed torture to occur are war criminals.

[carrierexchange]

I guess he didn't get the talking points from the GOP in time

[Cassak5111]

Is it just me or does Boehner always seem like hes drunk?

[entropyfu]

Bonner is going soft. They are torture techniques.

[ushadrons]

Boehners drinking again, he exhibits the classic signs of limbic brain disorder; he lives in a world based on subjective reality, and when faced with truth he becomes even more irrational. Unfortunately for him the law is the law. The law does not care about parties. The Attorney General must follow his job description, investigate and prosecute where crimes are found. The congress must do the same. We must affirm to ouselves and show the rest of the world we are a nation of laws.

[MadDogOfist]

wow. Speechless

[hiriumi]

Gee, which party puts politics more before the country? Republicans.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

how would this fool know what is best for the American people!

[cosmosgato]

Drunk as a skunk!

And I would be too if I were a worthless piece of trash..

Who voted for this guy?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

It's hard to lie consistently.

[downwindspiral]

what a boner.

[dogstar7]

There you have it folks, right from the mouth of the republican minority leader (if you can understand the alcoholic slurred speech):

It is TORTURE

No stinking euphemism, no 'enhanced interrogation' anymore. It's TORTURE!

And if you don't like it...well, you must be some kind of Democrat!

[schizerbone]

haha

[forumpro420]

Nice

[sachaput]

The Boner's right!!  The Bush administration would never have done anything for purely political reasons. They kept us safe! Well, after that one time, but let's not dwell on that, since it was Bill Clinton's fault!

[hobnailrose]

sarcasm, right? it's even better if you use gore vidal's voice in your head. jesus, i just admitted i hear voices. gack!

[sachaput]

I love Vidal! One of my early political memories are of Vidal and William F. Buckley going at each other during the '68 campaign coverage. Still remarkable video if you can find it.

[hobnailrose]

I love Vidal!.....sachaput

those vids are right here on youtube. just search "vidal buckley." them were the days!

[3star2nr]

Boehner you and your republicans are the only ones making anything about politics. Why dont you shut the fuck up and sit in the corner and let the people who actually want to do something for the country do there jobs.

[AstoundedAtheist]

Oopsy!

These guys have got nothing.....

[nsleon22]

LOL nice.

[WKaliberr]

Boehner will be involved in some gay sex controversy in a few months. Just watch and see.

[FullOfFail]

Dude, I swear I was about to say almost the same thing. You can already tell this guy got some dirt on him.
