C'mon Doc, ease up on the Veep

[Presidential Spokesliar and former Fox News mouthpiece Tony] Snow said "Cheney did not interpret the question as referring to water boarding and the vice president did not make any comments about water boarding. He said the question put to Cheney was "loosely worded." In water boarding, a prisoner is tied to a board with his head slanted down and a towel covering his face. Water is then poured on his face to create the sensation of drowning. The administration has repeatedly refused to say which techniques it believes are permitted under a new law. Asked to define a dunk in water, Snow said, "It's a dunk in the water."

You see, Doc, it's not torture. Like you said, it's just the dunk tank



or a dip in the ol' swimmin' hole.
