Imagine a college basketball team SO GOOD that when the weekly top 20 came out they were unanimously granted the top 5 spaces. Unheard of? Unprecedented? Unlikely? Unimageinable?
Well, something just like that has happened.
Four of this week’s Powermad Top Five rankings go to David Addington for his unbelievably arrogant, dismissive, and moronic appearance in Congress this week. He’s so smart, so sure of himself, that he’s a complete idiot: answering questions about his belief that the president can do anything he wants if he thinks he REALLY needs to–a breathtakingly arrogant position–Addington tried to act as if the congressmen asking him questions were posing them so stupidly that he couldn’t even answer them.
Hey, Addington, a tip: When trying to convince Congress that you don’t believe in the Unitary Executive, don’t act like the Unitary Prick of all time. You were like a drunk who’s been shut off in a bar screaming I’M NOT DRUNK, I’M NOT DRUNK. Trust me, if a person acts like that, he’s drunk. And if a person acts like you did in congress, he is arrogant enough to believe his people can do whatever they want.
Your performance proved every point your critics were trying to make. And that makes you an idiot.
5th place goes to Addington’s sidewanker, John Yoo, who wrote the torture memo, who should NOT be allowed to teach law since he’s got a real shot at ending up on trial for war crimes. Yoo, before the same committee as Addington, put on a strong display of the dive, dodge, and duck technique of avoiding questions. He maintains that the president can order anything he wants done to terrorism suspects if he thinks it’s important enough, and when asked if that meant the president could order someone buried alive he said, Ahh, err, well, no president would ever need to do that.
Now THAT’S the strong, constitutional basis that America was built on!
