White House Releases Files on Interrogating Detainees


My "favorite" line:

A DOD spokesperson said: "This is going to hurt us because now our Enemy knows the limits of our interrogation techniques".

But you really need to listen to this: she talks to the listeners as if she were explaining the need for torture to a bunch of 3rd graders. A truly masterful piece of whoring.

6. "whore" has also been used to decribe Tim Russert, Wolf Blitzer, Howard

Fineman. Media whore. Press whore. It is used in that context.

9. our use of "whore"

More of a comment on the media's willingness to sell out their principles and ethics to peddle the latest RW talking points. Not so much a comment on their sexual proclivities.

BTW. welcome to DU

11. "prissiness"

Sorry to offend your delicate little sensibilities but the word whore, when used in conjunction with the word media is part of the lexicon of Internet political rhetoric, thanks to the inimitable mediwhoresonline. It's also non-gender specific.

Prissiness, however closely tied with the polite liberalism usually relegated to boring college of liberal arts cocktail parties, is counterproductive to our responsibility to call media whores on their whoring.

12. I wanted to nominate Ann Coulter as Whore of the Millennium
