4th Weekly Hardy Hinge Award
Each Friday, our team of highly-trained media analysts sifts
through the week's most detached diatribes and fatuous fugues to
nominate candidates for this prestigious (and practical) trophy.
Whichever nominee then earns the most votes from the blog-going public
by the end of the weekend will be commissioned the week's most unhinged individual (or organization, media outlet, celebreality washout, etc.).
Congratulations to this week's nominees! Vote for your pick below. The polls will remain open until 10 pm Eastern on Sunday.
- Nancy Pelosi
For her reliable knee-jerk reactionism and ability to blindly embrace a position simply because it's contrary, despite an utter lack of defensibility. In particular, we salute Pelosi's gross misunderstanding and misrepresentation of separation of powers with respect to the recent Supreme Court decision on eminent domain, and indeed of the implications of legislative matters under her own purview.
- Richard Scrushy
For his apparently genuine belief that he might be restored to the CEO post at HealthSouth, now that a jury has acquitted him of 36 counts of fraud and conspiracy.
- Silvio Berlusconi
For the Italian Prime Minister's gratuitous rebuke of the United States, demanding "full respect" for his country's sovereignty and summoning Ambassador Sembler to answer for the 2003 disappearance of a terror suspect in Milan.
