Fun With Captions

Do you ever get the feeling that Illinois produces a lot of questionable, worthless politicians? Lincoln was a nice apex, but 140-odd years is a long time to rest on your laurels. In a state where Ayers, Farrakhan, Obama, and Wright live in the same neighborhood, I guess you gotta have low expectations. Did I mention it's going to be a long four years?

Obama and his thug-life entourage have set a fine precedence of a devil-may-care modus vivendi. Yes, this is just the beginning. The guy hasn't even moved into Tha' House yet.

Anyway, I came up with a few spot-on captions for this latest comedy of errors:

















Now that Blago has proven his ability to play dirty politics like the Big Boys, Obama welcomes him to his advisory panel.












What?! Come on, man! I'm just helping Obama spread the wealth around!















The bad news is that they're still going to go ahead and auction Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder. The good news is they're going to use the proceeds to help pay off the bailouts.

On a somewhat related note, Time has coined the best headline ever.
