Unlike previously, there was little concensus about this month's asshole. We had a pretty good crop, and votes were all over the place. In fact, while it may be too amazing to be true, I think Bill O'Reilly was the only one NOT to get a vote, and let's face it, Bill's an asshole. He was not September's American Asshole, however. With a majority of four votes, the September crown goes to Lucien Hoffman for being asshole enough to leave his 2 year old daughter in the car while he attended a "function" at a Nevada brothel. It was 95 degree that day. Yep, he's a bungster, all right.

He's such an asshole, as you can see by following the link, that Fox News wrote an entire story about him that doesn't blame Bill Clinton for anything. You have to be an asshole to distract them that much.

 "We know Luke to be a good father," he said. "He's not a neglectful person or an irresponsible parent. It's unfortunate that he made the decision that he did to put her in the car, but I'm sure the decision wasn't arrived at in a neglectful manner or that he was intentionally being neglectful."

- thus proving that there is never a lack of people willing to go to bat for an obvious asshole.

And this guy brings up a very good point - how many good dads are fighting in vain for shared custody of their kids, while some asshole that has that acts like this? Guys like this make it much more difficult for the good dads, just by sharing the same gender.

Congrats, Lucien. You've hit the big time. You are September's ASSHOLE OF THE MONTH.

Won't your little girl be proud?
