Rush Limbaugh was just talking about the ‘torture’ on the television show ‘24’ and how it is, according to some, influencing the way our interrogators conduct their interrogations. A friend of his emailed Rush to object to the depiction of torture on the show, saying, “Even I had to turn away when that drill came out.” (There was a scene in which a CTU agent had his shoulder drilled into.)

Just one question for that guy: Given that the torture scene and the nuclear explosion were equally as fake, did you sob for days on end over the (fake!) loss of life in the (fake) nuclear explosion? Are you suffering from PTSD because you saw a nuclear bomb go off in Los Angeles, California?

Give me a break.

An astute caller just called in suggesting that we send children over to Iraq to conduct these interrogations, since, according to Hollywood, the behavior of children is not influenced by what they see on television.


Now that's funny.
