The Bite My Ass Award

In keeping with the tradition of the "Asshat of the Week" award over at Attila's blog, I introduce you to the "Bite My Ass" award.

This award is set aside especially for those who I think really deserve to be single out for being such jerks.

The honor of the first award goes to Mr. Ronald Wayne Blankenship of Alabama. Mr. Blankenship ran for sheriff of Jefferson County. In various news stories, it is reported that Mr. Blankenship FAKED HIS DEATH AND HAD A FUNERAL several years ago to get the $340,000 in insurance money.

It is also reported that Mr. Blankenship has a past of BAD CHECK CHARGE(S) and there were some questions concerning him and a CAMPER TRAILER FIRE.

In 1990, a SWAT teamed swarmed his home for a THEFT charge and found a CACHE OF WEAPONS INSIDE A MATTRESS BOX SPRING. It was later found that along with the warrant for theft, there were also warrants out for ASSAULT, BURGLARY, MORE THEFT AND FORGERY.

Mr. Blankenship said: to paraphrase - It wasn't me, you have the wrong man. There must be another man out there with my same name, date of birth, married to a woman with the same name as my wife. It all a big coincidence because "I stand before the Lord, I've never been convicted of anything." YET COURT RECORDS SHOW THAT MR. BLANKENSHIP DID AT LEAST ONE YEAR IN THE COUNTY LOCKUP.

During the run for sheriff, Mr. Blankenship denied to be interviewed or release personal information because he was concerned over identity theft.

Mr. Blankenship I despise you and people of your ilk.

You can bite my ass.
