Why Andy McCarthy Is on Wingnut Welfare

Category: Stupid Republicans, Wingnuts
Sometimes I wonder why a successful former Assistant U.S. Attorney like Andrew McCarthy would leave the practice of law to go on wingnut welfare at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. But after slogging through Andy’s recent posts at America’s Shittiest Website™ (aka The Corner) on the plight of perjury poster child Scooter Libby, the answer became clear: he’s an imbecile and had no other option. If he got into a debate about the law with a bunch of poop-slinging chimps, the chimps would win. No contest.
Consider this:
Now that Judge Walton has officially entered his judgment of conviction (which technically happens when sentence is imposed) jurisdiction will transfer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
How Andy can blather on at length about the Libby trial and claim to have some insight into it without realizing that the trial was going on in a federal district court in the District of Columbia and that therefore all appeals would be heard by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — not the Seventh Circuit — is beyond me. The Seventh Circuit hears appeals from courts in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, not from the District of Columbia.
Perhaps, you might think, this is just a typo, a one-time careless mistake. Nope. Andy refers to the Seventh Circuit as the reviewing court two more times in a subsequent post.
An essential skill for a lawyer is finding the right courtroom, which is why Andy probably just said “fuck it’ and went on wingnut welfare where he’d only have to find his desk, the toilet and the snack machine.
UPDATE: Andy finally concedes he screwed up and attributes his mistake to “an inexplicable case of brain lock,” which is just another way of saying that he’s “dumber than bathroom mold.”
Final score: Andy - 0; Poop-Slinging Monkeys - 2.
