Olbermann: $1000 for every second Hannity undergoes waterboarding

On Thursday's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, he calls out Fox News anchor Sean Hannity on an offer he made on his show to be waterboarded for charity, and declares that he is willing to pay $1,000 to charity for every second that Hannity undergoes waterboarding.
Olbermann criticized the Fox News host for joking about the waterboarding issue on his show, offering to be waterboarded 'for charity' and 'for the troops' when asked by guest Charles Grodin.
Looking directly into the monitor, Olbermann deadpans:
"For every second you last, a thousand dollars -- live or on tape, provided other networks' cameras are there. A thousand dollars a second, Sean, because this is no game. This is serious stuff. Put your money where your mouth is, and your nose. Oh, and I'll double it when you admit you feared for your life, when you admit the horrible truth -- waterboarding, the symbol of the last administration, is torture."
Well, Hannity?
