People Power Hour Pinhead of the Week Logo

So what is this Pinhead of the Week bizzo, then?

Every week the People Power Hour nominates three people, places or things which have -- in our learned and considered opinion -- committed an act (or somehow represents an act or idea) that would make most of us Regular Joes (and Joettes) ashamed. Cast your ballot below and Bob's your uncle -- you've helped make history (and you've brought a bit of shame and humiliation to someone truly deserving). The votes are tallied up just prior to Friday's show and the award given at about 6:50pm or so. Ready? Let's do this thing....

This Week's Theme: Useful Idiots

Sean Penn

What can you really say about someone like Penn who, purposely, defends a tin-horned ruler who routinely denies his citizens basic human rights and liberties, steals the property of others and probably has a serious problem with body odor? It makes no real sense to anyone with half-a-brain, but it makes for a great Useful Idiot nominee for PotW.

Steve Precourt

Here's another chowderbrain who seems to think that the government exists to force us all to follow his particular agenda at the point of a gun. He recently sponsored a bill which would offer tax breaks to film companies who come to Florida; but only if they film the kind of stuff he wants. If films contain anything to do with "nontraditional family values, whatever that means, they get squat. Kinda like what Precourt has for a brain.

Laura Ingraham

Here's another self-righteous gas-bag, but since we believe in the old adage, "it takes one to know one," this "person" wins for calling Meghan McCain a "useful idiot." Why? Mehgan, a Republican, dared to criticize the GOP. Gee, Laura, you twit-- are you trying to say there is nothing at all wrong within the GOP? No problems? No wrong-doing? Nothing to be critical about? If that's what you think, you're a bigger idiot than we thought.
