Your Asshat of the Week: Rhode Island's Governor Don Carcieri

Our asshat nominees this time out included a vice president's gay daughter, a Norwegian wingnut, a Parade Magazine knockoff, and the governor of the great state of Rhode Island.

The gubernatorial candidate won but it was an exceedingly close race this week. To find out who gave Governor Carcieri a run for his money, read on!

Here are the voting results for this week's poll:

As you can see, Gov. Carcieri just barely beat out Mary Cheney. The Governor was nominated for his role as keynote hatemonger speaker at a Massachusetts Family Institute fundraiser. (This bodes very ill for the two gay marriage bills that are currently working their way through the RI legislature.)

Ms. Cheney pulled in a respectable number of votes for donating $1,000 to the Senate campaign coffers of Robert Portman - who opposes both gay marriage and gay adoption.

We'll be back with a new selection of Asshat Smackdown nominees on Friday in editor Michael Jensen's Best Gay Week Ever column.
