     PeBoVision Presents
       THE
   JACKASS
    OF THE
   MONTH!!



Every Month, I will be posting a story about someone who has  made headlines by doing something so mind-numbingly asinine that calling them a Jack-Ass is really an understatement. This Month was a particularly easy choice.


I am proud and honoured to introduce:


 Governor (Rhode Island) Don Carcieri

Don vetoed a bill last Thursday that would give same-sex couples the right to plan the funerals of their deceased partners. Really. He Did!

He will however support any bill which would give gay people the right to bury their LIVING partners.

It wasn't like the bill didn't protect innocent straight people from being buried by gays, embarrassing their loved ones, and damning them to an eternity of hellfire, suffering and Three's Company reruns (It required the partners to have been in the relationship for over a year and that they own property together. (huh? Why?))

When queried (oops bad pun) on this, Don said that while this is true, it was also true that gay people are well known for recruiting, and that the bill ignored the rights of the corpse, who,  if converted before the actual burial, could corrupt entire cemeteries.

Republicans across the U.S. applauded the move, saying that they saw no reason why the bodies should have to be buried when they could simply join the party, which has always welcomed cold-hearted , rotten and emotionally dead members.

In related news Governor Carcieri was honored with a national Award for establishing the state’s first Standards of Conduct for Notaries Public. Congrats Don! A National Award, and a Jack-Ass Award (we both know which one you most deserve), all in one short month!

Sorry this is late buddy...it shoulda been presented last week when you demonstrated your cruelty, but  this is the first Jack-Ass Award, and I had trouble finding a good picture of a jack-ass. (I finally had to Photoshop the button on it myself)

You will be immortalized on the Jack-Ass Wall of Fame (which will soon be installed on the sidebar) to give a permanent place of honor to asses like you!
