America’s first public taste of the one and only David Addington…

FUHQ squared.

Now, perhaps, those who have wondered aloud will have there answers when they ask where the HUBRIS comes from that has been the hallmark of this administration from the get-go.

This guy is just more leftover Iran-contra scum along with Eliot Abrams. Check out his bio – it is laughable. Addington supposedly got his views as a teenager! Apparently he still has them. Now I understand. Totally useless and immature jerk.

Come on people….. Al Qaeda only gets VHF in the caves where they are which means Fox, with rabbit ears, so they are all watching “The Buggs Bunny and Road Runner Show”. No fear, they all have their Acme RPG’s at the ready.

Really?

Damn – there goes my “paint a fake New York Skyline on the side of a mountain” anti-terrorism strategy. :(

“al Qaeda may be watching C-SPAN, huh? Sounds you guys have been doing a bang-up job with all the hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives you’ve been given. Somewhere in the cold reaches of the Pakistan tribal regions, a cave is ringing with laughter…

15 Zed Leffin,

Are you sure Al Q is watching Tom and Jerry ?

My vision is that Al Q is watching CNN (and other propoganda machines) and PBS.

Shrub is watching Tom and Jerry and having trouble following the dialogue.

I started to watch the replay just now, and quickly turned the sound off, it was too painful. THAT display by Addington is the Bush administration in a nutshell: smug, arrogant, flippant, lying, evasive, interrupting. Oh, but then people like Iowa’s Steve King get their turn, and it’s a mutual admiration society.

These guys were great! Best time I had all day, and that’s not saying much. My favorite comment was from Nadler or one of the other Dems who said: We’ve all practiced law and we know what’s going on here.

They are so convinced they are god that they don’t know that any other person has the capacity to say they are full of it. Hopefully, they will all be humiliated. I think that may be the best we can hope for.

Those Al Qaeda votes really tipped the scales for this season’s American Idol as well.

LOL! Is that how Kristi Yamaguchi won Dancing with the Stars? Honestly, Addington lost me at a hello with that idiotic comment.

Addington’s point is well taken. Torture would not occur to al-Qaeda unless we suggested it to them. Addington will become his local police chief in no time.

Marie Says:
I happened to see some of the proceedings today and between Addington and Yoo, I don’t know which one is more despicable, more arrogant, or more loathsome.
They are a disgrace to public service.

And how can CalBerkley keep that scumbag Yoo on staff after all this? Are they afraid of him or do they actually feel he brings ANYTHING of value to their law program?

I am really confused here and would never want my child to go to school there.

Actually,
If we were to “let these deans know” that they are NOT getting our money DUE TO these tratiors being on staff, that may an effect on them. Just like it does to corporations and feedback to advertising on bu||shit shows.
Addington and Yoo should be summarily hung. No trial, no judge, just taken out back and hung from the nearest tree, with a piece of piano wire.

Academia has traditionally been more “liberal” because very often, intellingent, thinking people can see all sides to issues; they can intuit nuances, their minds are not generally closed, and they are accustomed to teaching young people to think for themselves by presenting complex issues and allowing debate — the students then clarify their arguments to themselves and others.
With the infiltration of, encouragement by, and kowtowing to the right-wing extremists, the universities can no longer be considered bastions of liberalism – but until they are totally in the vein of extreme conservatism as Regent University and its ilk, they will still be labeled “liberal” in a pejorative sense.

A question.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Youtubes of today’s hearing? I can watch anything else I want but Addington’s testimony won’t load.

Why didn’t they tell him that he needs to respond because the American people are watching–and they need to know what the government is doing in their name.

“Addington won’t talk about torture because ‘al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN.’”

LOL! Addington is certainly Cheney’s Cheney. The most retarded comment that I ever heard. Al-Queda watching C-SPAN. Does Addington have the list of programs that Al-Queda watches?

Memo to Addington: Does Al-Queda watch Fox News or Food Channel Network or do they simply heart Jack Bauer on “24?”

I have a feeling that “librul universities” are becoming as much a myth as the “librul media”. Not content with diploma mills and brainwashing factories like Liberty and Regent Universities, the Rheichwing is making their push in academia.

And don’t forget CONTEMPT, Zooey. I should be passed even mild surprise at these scum, but, they still manage it.

And, I have a general question. Is anyone aware of a rule/law which prevents the Chair of a hearing from ordering everyone without a given level of clearance out of the room? Then COMPEL the witness to answer a question?

WTF is wrong with these people?
