Once again, Elizabeth Hasselback shown that she must've gotten her latest copy of the Repubs talking points memo.
Jesse Ventura was on The View today, and when the discussion turned to torture and waterboarding (something Ventura has experienced), Elizabeth's first question to him was "what do you think of Nancy Pelosi lying?"
You have got to be kidding me. Trying to deflect from the people that authorized torture to Nancy Pelosi?
When Jesse mentioned that torture was illegal, Elizabeth tried to say that it was authorized, to which Jesse said "by who?" It seems like Elizabeth doesn't understand our agreement not to torture, and that just because Bush or Cheney authorize it doesn't make it legal (this is sounding like Nixon- 'when the President does it it isn't illegal').
Elizabeth said something about how it wasn't torture, it was 'enhanced interrogations', and Ventura told her Cheney just changed the word.
Ventura said he would prosecute and put in jail anyone that authorized the torture, and Elizabeth asked if he would prosecute Obama for authorizing the killing of the Somali pirates.
Dang. She really is annoying.
