Bush & Company

On May 12, 2011, Sen. John McCain, well-known survivor of wartime enemy torture, stated that torture not only didn't lead to Osama bin Laden's downfall, but that it's immoral, illegal and ineffectual in collecting reliable intelligence.

He was criticized by former senator and current presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, who countered that McCain "doesn't understand how enhanced interrogation works."

Mr. Santorum, unlike his former colleague and fellow Republican, has likely himself never undergone waterboarding or any other form of torture.

What'll he be remembered for?
Not some legislative bill
Sagely sired on The Hill,
Nor for having matchless skill

With simile and metaphor
Debating on the Senate floor,
But his stance Vietnam vet
John McCain, who in that war,

Was a torture victim, yet
On that point the man's all wet!
He's never going to live it down,
Even in this shameless town.
