Brazen Liar Or Common Idiot?

This may be the quote of the year.

Gwen Ifill (PBS Newshour host): "Do you think that waterboarding, as I described it, constitutes torture?"

Senator Kit Bond: "There are different ways of doing it. It's like swimming, freestyle, backstroke. The waterboarding could be used almost to define some of the techniques that our trainees are put through, but that's beside the point."

My God, are we that stupid, or are our balls that big we can just lie like that? Like swimming? At the C.I.A. pool party, perhaps.
