Mancow's Waterboarding Leads to Charity Donation From Olbermann

Yesterday on his radio show, Eric "Mancow" Muller volunteered to be waterboarded on his show, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. The average person lasts 14 seconds. Here's how Mancow did.

Late last night, the Trib's Phil Rosenthal reported that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann would donate $10,000 to Veterans of Valor, the charity run by Sgt. Klay South, the man who actually performed the waterboarding of Mancow. According to Rosenthal:

Previously, Olbermann has said he would make a donation of $1,000 for each second Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity lasted while being waterboarded if Hannity followed through on his offer last month to undergo the process for charity. But Olbermann said Friday he is withdrawing his offer to Hannity, whose syndicated radio show also airs on WLS-AM.

Here is what Olbermann had to say. The full Olbermann segment on waterboarding is after the jump.
