'Damn right' may replace 'bring 'em on'

"Damn right" is what Shrub Bush said when asked if the CIA could waterboard Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

We also learn that Scott McClellan is getting the freeze-out after his tell-all book, that Mitch McConnell, even shortly before 2006 elections, had no spine or balls in dealing with Bush, to his party's detriment, that he thought about dumping Darth Cheney in 2004, and Bush's final refusal to pardon Scooter Libby really didn't sit well:
When he decided against a pardon, Mr. Cheney lashed out at him in private. “I can’t believe you’re going to leave a soldier on the battlefield,” the vice president told him. “The comment stung,” Mr. Bush writes. “In eight years, I had never seen Dick like this, or even close to it.” He worried their friendship was fractured, but writes that it eventually survived the dispute.

Did it?
