Torture's So Republican Let the punishment fit the crime Torture's so Republican. It doesn't matter if it works, As long as it is in the news. It's one of television's perks. What other purpose does it serve? Depends on whom and why it's used. It's wrong for mass interrogation; great for keeping us amused. Public hangings in prime time? Or perhaps decapitation? Bet their higher Nielsen ratings trump Meet The Press and Face The Nation. The problem stems from Cable News. Most offer torture secondhand Except, of course, CNBC, Which, it would seem, does understand. Tips from Kramer let us lose our own children's school tuition, Making him a candidate for future CIA rendition. Or better yet "Worst Person" for a week-end or whenever; Then giving Olberman a knife to see what he can sever From Kramer, Parsons, Fuld and Prince and others of their ilk With cries their frauds continue and involve more than spilt milk.
