Sarah Palin declared last weekend that “waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” Her remark has justifiably been condemned far and wide.

“But how should we baptize politicians? ”
They are already baptized thru their profession. They experience Full Immersion in the septic pool of the Logic Free Zone. They worship the government Trinity of Legislative, Executive and Judicial. They anoint themselves with the superiority of legislative immunity.

Public caning is how they do it in some places….I could see this method as beneficial on both public perception as well as a good learning tool!!
