Your Hero and Asshat of the Week (December 14, 2009)

We normally just announce an Asshat of the Week winner, but in Friday's Best Gay Week Ever column we introduced a companion poll, Hero of the Week, to recognize the good guys too. Just a way to balance out the karma around here. As you can probably tell from the image above Rachel Maddow took one of the crowns and Uganda the other.

You can probably guess who was the hero and who was the asshat, but to find out who they were up against and what their margin of victory was, check out the results after the break!

Why the Maddow win? It probably had something to do with this...

Why the Uganda win? If you don't know you've been living under a rock.

Both our Hero and Asshat will reign supreme until this Friday, when a new crop of candidates are announced in the Best Gay Week Ever column.
