Lieberman jokes about waterboarding at black-tie dinner.
At last night’s black-tie dinner at Washington’s Alfalfa Club, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) couldn’t resist cracking a joke about torture. Politico’s Mike Allen reports:
More from Senator Lieberman: ‘We had hoped Vice President Cheney would be here tonight. I hope it’s not his back injury that’s keeping him away.Apparently, he hurt it moving some things out of his office. Personally, I had no idea that waterboards were so heavy.
Last year, Lieberman, who has voted against banning waterboarding, “reluctantly acknowledged” that he doesn’t believe that waterboarding is torture. “It is not like putting burning coals on people’s bodies. The person is in no real danger. The impact is psychological,” he said
I just read this on Eschaton and came here to see if Jason has ripped Tommy Carper’s BFF JL on it yet.

I am Nancy. But you knew that!
Gee, I wonder how he’d feel about gas chamber jokes?
When is Lieberman up for election again? I can’t wait until he’s out of the Senate.
