Erich “Mancow” Muller, a Chicago-based conservative radio host, recently decided to silence critics of waterboarding once and for all. He would undergo the procedure himself, and then he would be able to confidently convince others that it is not, in fact, torture.
Or so he thought. Instead, Muller came out convinced.
“It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke,” Mancow said. “It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back... It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture.”
“I wanted to prove it wasn't torture,” Mancow said. “They cut off our heads, we put water on their face... I got voted to do this but I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' ”
