Why Hannity won't do it.

elfsAbsolutely no one should be surprised by this. Talk show host Erich Muller wanted to prove to his audience that waterboarding wasn't torture. So he had himself waterboarded. The result?
Muller lasted half the length of the SERE training session before he threw his safeword token, a toy cow, across the room and ended the session.
"I wanted to prove it wasn't torture," Muller said. "They cut off our heads, we put water on their face. … I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke. … I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."
So when will Sean Hannity put out on his promise to allow himself to be waterboarded? I haven't been watching MSNBC recently, but I have to watch tonight's Olbermann just to see what he says about this.
I'm kinda pleased with the use of a safeword, myself.
