Douchebag of the Week (Feb. 7-13)
It seems appropriate to recognize somebody really special this Valentine’s Day and we think Kevin hit the nail on the head this week with one Kenneth W. Starr, who has “made a career out of making a big deal out of stupid crap.”
No longer limiting himself to the confines of an ex-president’s bedroom, Starr now wants to try and interfere in about 18,000 other sex lives in California. Before the appearance at Harvard Law School, Starr said this on Tuesday about Proposition 8:
“What is being argued before the California Supreme Court is: Do the people have power under the California constitution to amend the constitution so as to overturn a specific decision of the California Supreme Court? It’s a very important but nonetheless different issue than the underlying constitutional issue of the right to marry someone of the same sex.”
Starr gets to present his oral argument to the California Supreme Court next month to try and defend a measure that the state’s own attorney general has called “constitutionally indefensible and should be overturned”:
“Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification.”
We’ve long wondered how Starr justifies many of the causes he works for, but the evidence of both his past work and his most recent endeavor leads us to believe that he is propelled to remain true to one thing: being a genuine and certified douchebag.
