Chickenhawk Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough calls Jesse Ventura "dumb". . .

Chickenhawk Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough decided to engage Jesse "The Body" Ventura on the torture debate.

From the Chicago Tribune's blog The Swamp:

"Joe Scarborough, the former Republican congressman from Florida who hosts hours of political talk on MSNBC each morning, says the former independent governor of Minnesota and big-time wrestler is fighting out of his weight class in the torture debate.

Ventura 'should stop smoking whatever he's been smoking,' Scarborough said at the anchor's desk of his Morning Joe show. 'It seriously should be a crime, to be that dumb on TV.'

It was people involved in the planning of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States who suffered the first round of waterboarding in CIA interrogations, Scarborough said -- not Muslims randomly taken from mosques. "I respect people who say it is immoral,'' Scarborough said of the interrogations. 'We can have that debate.'"

Right wing ditz Elisabeth Hasselbeck gets PWNED by Jesse Ventura on THE VIEW

Right wing ditz Elisabeth Hasselbeck just got PWNED by Jesse "The Body" on THE VIEW. During a discussion on torture Ventura schooled Hasselbeck who tried her best to use the issue to attack Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and of course President Barack Obama. Ventura was having none of it.

We may update this post a few times after watching Ventura's mastery over and over again today.

UPDATE #1: She wants to send Obama to jail for having the Somali pirates killed? This lady is crazy!

Buzzflash's Karlin: Don't buy into the Pelosi distraction

Don't Let the Pelosi Kerfuffle Distract You from the Architects of Torture and Murder: Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush

By Mark Karlin

Okay, the diversionary distraction -- so a crime or escape from prison can be committed -- is one of the oldest Hollywood film cliches.

You know, let's say two guys are planning to break out of prison by jumping a fence and hiding in a hamper in the outgoing laundry truck. So they get a couple of other inmates to start a fight and draw the attention of all the guards. That way the escaping jailbirds won't be noticed.
