Charles Krauthammer Laments That The Gitmo ‘Club Med’ Resort Is Booked For The Summer

President Barack Obama has been under criticism for some time now about the continued functioning of the US prison at Guantánamo Bay, more than a year after he passed an executive order to shut it down. But while some are decrying the lack of follow-through on that campaign promise, Charles Krauthammer is just jealous he doesn’t have the fancy lifestyle of the average Gitmo detainee.

On today’s Special Report, Bret Baier pointed out that the accused being held at Guantánamo were allowed to watch the World Cup on tape, with videos coming in regularly of matches. “I don’t even think I was able to watch the whole World Cup,” Baier joked, and tossed it over to Krauthammer, who had a question for the tourism industry: “How do I get two weeks at Gitmo? Sounds really good– the weather’s good, I get eighteen channels, a lot of exercise and I don’t have to work.”

He also had some very strong words on the initial signing of Obama’s executive order, calling it “amateur hour” and a result of President Obama thinking he was “king of the world” and the order would be followed through on without effort. The rest of the panel had similar opinions, suggesting that the Gitmo issue was put on standby in order to pass health care reform and that it has now become a liability.

Fox News Contributor Steve Hayes had a similar assessment to Krauthammer’s, pointing out the Twilight books and complaining that they were optional reading material– “if they were forced to read them, then it would be torture,” after which Krauthammer suggested the Special Report retreat should be at Gitmo, the better to play video games.

Krauthammer is a total scumbag. If he thinks Guantanamo is such a wonderful place, maybe he could volunteer to be found hanged in one of the cells (with his hands tied, of course), or chained to the floor and forced to lay in his own excrement for 24 hours or more.

On second thought, Krauthammer is the excrement.

Jelperman you obviously didn’t watch Special Report .. They did a story about Gitmo [ actual report from inside Gitmo ] Where the conditions have vastly improved, they have reading workshops , 16 cable channel Tv , and a library .. In comparison to 23 hr. confinement in Max security prison in Florence, Colorado. I’d rather be at Gitmo. It’s not want you think anymore.

[ The gitmo story was shown early on in the show, before Charles and the panel discussed it - The author of this article , did not mention that, and did this story great injustice ,to make it look like the panel were just blindly discussing Gitmo ]

Yes, I am sure the Ever Effete Krauthammer would thoroughly enjoy the ten (10) minutes or so he would make it at GITMO. A storied fop is he.

King, I’m sure he’d love to go to the gym and get all buff and manly like you must be — if it just wasn’t for that nagging predicament of being a paraplegic. Do you make fun of all people with disabilities or just conservatives?

Three men were murdered in solitary confinement in Guantanamo. The evidence comes from the government’s own files, moron.

So you agree that the cushy treatment of torturers and murderers at Gitmo is inappropriate?

I’m confused as to why Bret Baier isn’t questioning this Romulan about cloaking technology.
