Palin is the Lindsay Lohan of politics. Her career as a politician is over so to make a living she needs to stay in the limelight. This requires her to be outrageous.

Torture = salvation.

And, this was the person the Republicans were OK with possibly leading the country.

she's still relevant to an extent. There is a strong minority that loves her to death for her outlandish comments. Mainly it's just old white men who want to bang her, but it's still a pretty large % when you think about how off the wall she is.

Some people still adore her.

Others find her humorous.

And many stupidly fear her because of the fact that she still can garner attention, which then feed on itself.

I don't care that Palin actually thinks this. I am all for waterboarding (it is extremely effective and cheap; saves on materials and man hours). Whatever it takes for people to feel better about it.

And when this quote gets mistranslated into Pashto, she will increase the danger and difficulty of our soldiers' mission.

She is a terrible terrible person. We should ignore her more than Jenny McCarthy.

Did she say this in front of a Walmart with the Koch brothers looking on admirably? That would be a trifecta of epic proportions.

I hope you get waterboarded and film it so we can see you crying like scared little child. More so then usual at least.

Maybe she can watch one of her dipshit kids get waterboarded and see how that support goes.

Dunno if she really means it. She does seem to realize that it will make her wealthier to be more controversial. She has went from nobody loser to millionaire at rocket speed.

Except that we keep hearing that it wasn't actually effective and doesn't produce reliable information. In addition it directly violates our Constitution and the Geneva Convention.

The only people that say that water boarding worked are the people who were responsible for implementing it and refuse to admit they're wrong. You know like the man who shot his friend in the face and got that friend to publicly apologize to him.

Yea and what happens when they have the wrong guy or he doesn't have the correct information? Torture makes a person say whatever he thinks will make the pain end. If a person doesn't know anything and the torturers don't believe him, he has to make up shit to make the pain end.

I find it so weird that the GOP ran with this person as its candidate for Vice President. She is a remarkably silly human being.
