Gawker has several emails that imply the Mancow waterboarding could've been staged. Although, emails would be easy to fake.
My first thought was- how could it be a hoax if he was really under water?
But then I remembered that when I watched the video the first time I had a couple thoughts:
1) The person performing the waterboarding didn't look like he knew what he was doing. Mancow had to tell the guy to plug his (Mancow's) nose before pouring the water.
2) At some point the guy is pouring water on Mancow's chin. How is that waterboarding? Trying to drown his pores?
Keith Olbermann donated money to charity after this, so I'll be curious what he says about it.
Also- Mancow is a conservative who thought waterboarding wasn't torture, so it doesn't support his cause to fake waterboarding and then say it is torture.
How about if we all just forget about Mancow? Sounds good to me!

If this was a hoax, the nose plugging is probably the tip-off. If you want someone to think they are drowning, why plug the nose. Possibly getting the water only in your mouth isn't as bad. Maybe that's why ding-bat insisted on having his nose plugged. And why the operator was unfamiliar with how to plug the nose.
