The recent Cass Sunstein interview is already an all-timer.

Chotiner: But your wife [Samantha Power] is one of the great human-rights experts in the world. I asked you about [Kissinger] being anti-liberal, and your response was that he was very nice to you about your book.

Sunstein: About Star Wars.

Chotiner: It is certainly a touching story. But that’s not totally an answer to the question.

Sunstein: Yeah. Well, I don’t know. What he would think of this book I’d love to know.

Chotiner: But no second thoughts about being friends with him or anything?

Chotiner: Well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides.

Sunstein: Yeah. And I get those who think you shouldn’t be friends with someone who did terrible things. I hear that. I can just say that he was, as a very large number of people would say, though many fewer would say it publicly, an extraordinarily generous friend.

Chotiner: Professor, thank you so much for doing this.

Sunstein: Great, thanks. If we go light on the Kissinger part, I wouldn’t complain, because it could dwarf everything else.


oh my god

Sunstein is being led so easily. You kind of have to marvel at how stupid he makes himself sound.
