George W. Bush approved a government-run torture program.

Loyal Bushies know this, but they can’t admit Bush was wrong. So they now defend Bush by defending torture and insist that Obama should also be a torture President.

And Cheney is running around saying “We didn’t torture, but it worked!”. So we now have the Right claiming that President Obama is a fascist tyrant, who considers right-wingers to be his enemies, but they want him to secretly use torture on his enemies.

That’s a fine mess you conservatives have gotten yourselves into.

(Hint: When you’re in a hole, stop digging.)
