Dan Seals Photo Caption Contest


It's Friday, so let's have a little fun...

Every once in a while, Rich Miller of Capitol Fax Blog finds a daffy photo of some politician and runs a photo caption contest. We're going to steal his idea and use a photo provided by Publia over at the Wilmette Blog (thanks Publia!!!!). The idea is simple--try to make up a funny caption for the photo, and snark is heavily encouraged, but keep it clean.


My starting caption:

"Barack Obama said WHAT? Quick, issue a press release saying I like pistachio ice cream too!!!"

I vote for professor Peabody, unless we want to add, “"Honey, what do you mean I'm going to have to get a real job when I loose in November or can I go back to being a stay at home dad?"

"Sure you can take my "current" class at NU, but you have to wait until this April. Assuming, of course, enough people sign up."

"God Forbid, that 7 years of hard work may be washed away. And I am very sad, because I was personally involved in these development scheme."

Oops, I pasted it wrong; that was from Pervez Musharraf's Declaration of Emergency. Nevermind.
