Oh please let this happen

Sweet Baby Jesus, lying there in your manger, surrounded by cute stable animals and hay, could you get off your goldbricking God-infant ass and make this happen already?

GRODIN: We can waterboard you?

HANNITY: Sure.

GRODIN: Are you busy on Sunday?

HANNITY: I'll do it for charity. ... I'll let you do it. I'll do it for the troops' families.

Waterboarding Hannity....for charity. For the troops. Do it on pay-per-view and the DailyKos commenters alone will fund two new Walter Reed hospitals.

This raises two important questions: 1. Does Hannity, self-important windbag that he is, actually have the guts to do what his huffed up, lizard brain, knee jerk reaction to having his masculinity challenged made him say? 2. Will Hannity actually come to the conclusion that just about every journalist who gets waterboarded comes to the second the water hits their face: that it's torture? Or are we going to see him pretend to shrug it off like it's Spring Break fraternity hazing?

Start up the donation site, I pledge $50 bucks and my solemn vow to not stop laughing for the entire duration of this pasty blowhard getting the full brunt of the torture he's been excusing for the past few years.

Praying for rain. It makes more sense than most GOP drivel

VIDEO: Focus pulls video urging prayers for rain on Obama

Focus on the Family Action pulled a video from its Web site Monday that asked people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" during Barack Obama's Aug. 28 appearance at Invesco Field in Denver to accept the Democratic nomination for president.

The video disappeared from You Tube also, but is now back on the site. View it here.

Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action, the political arm of Focus on the Family, said the video he wrote and starred in was meant to be "mildly humorous."

"Dear baby Jesus, please rain on the Muslim man and his 75,000 liberal, gay, atheist, believers. Dobson endorsed McCain just like you said, now we need some help. At least send us some dancing Indians. Feather, not dot. Your will be done. Amen"

Hey, if your policies can't get any traction and you're viewed as the hateful fringe of the religious fringe, why not pray for spite? What else are you going to spend your prayer time on? Less war? Try and get a Republican elected on that. But it's good you spent your money sending a guy to Denver to do a video about 'makin' it rain'. What else are you going to spend that money on? Poverty programs? Some gay guy might not know he's a sinner if you do that.

Water from the sky God is the best use of your efforts. Though if it doesn't rain, that mean Jesus has made a tacit endorsement of Obama. You don't wanna see J-Dawg on the stump. He invented populism.
