1. They really need to figure out a way to do that less obviously
It was silly as hell after awhile.

5. Are you series?11!1
seriously were they really doing something so transparent? And could you detect a difference in Gonzo's manner after a cough signal was received? Did any of the senators appear to catch on?

Don't mean to ask so many dumb questions but I can't believe that even this gang of fuckups would resort to such a juvenile method of transmitting instructions. We did something like that in the 6th grade to signal answers to a true/false test. Of course we were all caught (actually the "cougher" was and he ratted out the rest of us) and flunked the test.

8. I would had used a fish hook attached to fishing line
The signaler would then yank on the fishing line which would pull on his little head.

16. Code Pink was *coughing* *coughing*
as they should!

Gonzales is a lying sack of excrement and a TORTURER Enabler!!!!

In fact? If we need any more shit? All we have to do is squeeze his head!

Better yet? ;)

Schumer should've waterboarded that little fuck, everytime he said, "I DON'T RECALL."
