2009 Major-League A**hole of the Year -- VOTING

[BRB_TheFireball]

What up, America!  It's that time of the year again!  It's
time for the voting for the 2009 James Danforth Quayle
Major-League A**hole of the Year Award.  What a year this has
been, huh?  We have certainly seen a lot of a**holes coming
out of the woodwork, and I'm not talking about just those who
have been trying to destroy America's first Black president. 
A ton of hoaxes, acts of media prostitution, and moments of
sports idiocy have also made this year especially frustrating.

I've scoured all of 2009's weekly winners of the Major-League
A**hole Awards and I've picked the top 20 a**holes of the
year.  It's up to all of you to determine who will take home
the 2009 Quayle Award.

Now, let's go over the voting rules:  Take a look at these 20
a**holes.  You must choose your top five (5) from the list and
rank them 1 through 5, with #1 being your top pick for the
Major-League A**hole of 2009.  There are no write-in nominees
allowed in the end-of-the-year voting.  You are limited only
to the 20 nominees below.

There are three ways to submit your votes:

--Post them in this thread
--Send them in a private message to me
--Send them to my e-mail address:  [e-mail]

If, on your ballot, you choose more than 5 names, any choices
past #5 will be ignored.  If you choose any names that are not
on the top 20 below, your entire ballot will not be counted
unless you correct your ballot before the deadline.  If you
choose fewer than 5, your entire ballot will not be counted
unless you correct your ballot before the deadline.

Each first-place vote earns the nominee 5 A**hole Points, each
second-place vote earns 4 A**hole Points, and so on.  All
points will count toward the nominees' lifetime totals. 
Voting will be open for the remainder of the month--until 5 PM
EST on Sunday January 31, 2010.  After all votes have been
counted and all scores have been tallied, the nominee with the
most A**hole Points will be the "Major-League A**hole of
2009".  In the case of a tie, the nominee with the most
first-place votes will be declared the winner.

Thanks for your cooperation.  Discuss away.  Vote.  Have fun.
