Here's a selection of some of the other lines we received this week:

"So where's Annette, I mean, Ann Coulter?"

"Everybody needs a hobby!"

"One person's torture is another person's extreme sport.  Kowabunga! "

"It's called spin, Dick."

"Look Dick!  George personalized my waterboard."

"Hanging out with you for the next fourteen months? Now that's torture!!"

"It's almost as fun as hanging ten!"

"It was a little gnarly in those confirmation hearings."

"I hear you can teach boarding techniques."

"I just know everything's above board!"

"They may find MY brand more appealing!"

"I tried out your waterboard and don't see why there was such a big fuss."

"I've never been water boarding but I'm anxious to try it out"

"Water boarding is only painful if your not any good at it."

“I don’t see what the Dems were complaining about -- riding the board was tough but I wouldn’t call it torture!”

"Well, of course, you and the President deserve a fair trial.  After all this country does have a constitution."

"You're right Dick, waterboarding is definitely not torture."

"Relax, this is used only for FAKE drownings.  If you want to know how to use REAL drowinings to kill people, you need to talk to Ted Kennedy."

Mine was "It's almost as fun as hanging ten!" Close, but Ken's was better. Way to go!
