Joe Lieberman, You’re So Funny

I forgot to laugh:

[A]t the weird ritual known as the Annual Alfalfa Club Dinner, outgoing club President Joe Lieberman decided it was a good time to test out some new material that involved that goldmine of comedy material known as torture.

Once inside the banquet hall, which is always off-limits to the media, the Alfalfans took turns trying to crack each other up. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) — the club’s outgoing president — noted that former vice president Richard B. Cheney injured himself while moving into his new home, according to a source inside the dinner.

“I had no idea waterboards were so heavy,” Lieberman quipped.

Here is an ad from Amnesty International that shows–briefly–a graphic demonstration of waterboarding:

If after all these years you needed some more evidence that Joe Lieberman’s moral compass is broken, this is it. Joe Lieberman is a man who rails against depictions of violence in video games for adults, but thinks that torture devices make a dandy punchline.
