Wet blanket

Ha ha ha. That Dick Cheney is such a card. Imagine criticizing an attempt to determine if authorizing the torture known as water boarding is, ya know, illegal, by saying it would put "a wet blanket over the government's willingness to be bold." You can't get more comedy gold than that.

Unless, of course, you take it further and say that investigating torture is "abhorrent," but authorizing it isn't.

These guys are amazing.
