[UPDATE 2: Excellent nominees in the comments. We might come back with more than 5 tomorrow!]
Hello all, and a very merry December 26th to you all.
'Tis the season for all kinds of "best/most/highest of the year" lists, and this of course begs the question -- who was the biggest ass clown of the year?
Fortunately, there's been a bumper crop of ass clowns, courtesy of our friends on the Republican side of the aisle. Even more fortunately, however, we have you good folks right here to help us separate the merely mortal ass clowns from the true ass-clown-eriffic ones.
Here's how we're going to do this... We've included 10 candidates below. Pick one and vote. And if you don't see your choice there, nominate a new ass clown in the comments below.
Tomorrow, we'll post a new poll, with just the top 5 (based on the poll, and support for write-in candidates below). Then each subsequent day, we'll remove the bottom polling ass clown, American Idol style.
And when we ring in the new year, we will have officially crowned the top ass clown of 2009!
Go ahead, vote, speak your piece, and... may the best ass clown win!
