Rep. Hunter is holding up a CHICKEN DINNER on CNN...
... right now. He's showing the entire entree as an example of how well the inmates ("Killers" he refers to them as, although none have been tried and convicted) are treated.

They get chicken dinners THREE TIMES A WEEK, he's saying. He's also talking about Lemon Fish and double vegetables.

It just gets stranger every day, doesn't it?

Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 01:12 PM by in_cog_ni_to
the other day. My husband and I just sat here laughing at him. He's making a fool out of himself....as usual. Like feeding the prisoners makes torturing them OK? Think again, Duncan!

7. He's been talking about chicken for awhile now...
... but today, he brought a PROP.

I just can't even believe what I'm seeing. A plastic dinner on a plate to prove we're treating the inmates well.

9. Even if they are getting meals catered by Wolfgang Puck, it
doesn't make torture or even mistreatment right. This is another diversionary tactic of the Republicans. Their light in the brains followers will say, oh gee they are getting chicken dinners so that makes all the pain go away.

If they weren't getting mistreated, there wouldn't be any reason to talk about food.

40. He wants to make sure Americans realize they are paying for the
incarceration of these inmates. Look at how good they eat, look at how well they are treated, look at how we throw excrement on them and hook electric wires to their genitals.


All possible through you, the American Taxpayer....

So if we kidnap him and hold him against his will with no legal charges and no access to lawyers or anyone on the outside, but we feed him well, he is okay with that?

What a moron!

27. Inmates receive excellent care.
To recognize this statement for its merit, just spend some measurable time at a nursing home and evaluate the care given to our debilitated elderly. Compare the length of time services are rendered to an inmate compared to a nursing home client.

41. was there "delicious rice pilaf" on his plate of rubber chicken?
I saw him babbling this morning about the tasty rice pilaf the prisoners are served and almost blew a gasket.

When you humiliate people, beat the shit out of them and mock their religious beliefs, rice pilaf ain't gonna make them feel well treated...what a tool he is, a ridiculous oaf.

48. Has anyone noticed that lately....
when the Corp. Media shows Gitmo that the prisoners are playing soccer &/or lounging around, reading books or visiting with other prisoners? It seems to be a PR campaign to make Gitmo seem almost pleasant.

Then they go back to their normal meals of gruel. I wonder if chicken tastes better when you have electrodes attached to your genitals?
