Video: Waterboarding Fox's Sean Hannity for Charity - Will You Help?
Sunday, April 26, 2009 at 9:19
There are so many ways to play this story, both serious and satirical, that I'm going to lay it out straight through the two videos below.
On Thursday night, Fox's macho-posing Sean Hannity was getting a bit of grief from actor Charles Grodin on Thursday night --- "How much mascara do you have on right now?" --- when the subject turned to that day's news:
GRODIN: Would you consent to being waterboarded?
HANNITY: Yeah. Sure.
GRODIN: And we can waterboard you. Are you busy on Sunday?
HANNITY: I'll do it for charity.

Hannity may not know that Christopher Hitchens had already tried out waterboarding, lasting 11 seconds, or may think that it's just a Sunday night swim. In either case, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann took up the charity offer, offering $1000 to charity for each second that Hannity could last:

For those who want to support a good cause, a Facebook group has been set up, proposing to give any proceeds to Fisher House, which provides lodging for the families of US troops.
