Cheney Cracks Joke About Waterboarding

Hey, did you hear the one about strapping people down and forcing them to inhale water so they feel like they're drowning? Waterboarding was just one of the questionable punchlines at a recent roast of Dick Cheney, according to attendees. Cheney told a joke—which he attributed to Jay Leno—about wanting to waterboard an antelope, reports Buzzfeed. And Rumsfeld joked about Cheney waterboarding fish. "I can see the case for enhanced interrogation techniques after Sept. 11," says one attendee, "but I can’t really endorse sitting there drinking wine and fancy dinner at the Plaza laughing uproariously about it." Another joke reportedly centered around Cheney shooting his friend in the face. Good times! (More Dick Cheney stories.)
