Caption Hunt
Published 20 years, 1 month pastOver the last two days, some… odd pictures of the President and his new appointees have made the rounds. Here they are:
I could use some cheering up, so if you’d like to help out, write funny captions for one or both pictures. Extra credit for captions that don’t make sex jokes. (Anything really foul will be deleted. You have been warned.)
For those who wish to contribute two captions, I think we’ll be daringly original and refer to the first picture (of Bush and Rice) as #1, and the second (of Bush and Spellings) as #2. Got it? Great. Knock yourselves out.

Eric’s Archived Thoughts: Caption Hunt – Eric Meyer asked for captions, so I’d thought I’d take a crack. Firs picture: (Bush thinking) “Maybe she knows how to make peace with nations… cause I kinda screwed up last term”. The second: (S…
#1: Watch how Mr. Bush doesn’t move his lips … almost.
#2: “We must lower our expectations of the President.” Bush:”Pfft, can they GET lower?”
#1
Ahh, so that what detante means. I thought it meant strike first.
#2
Gotta magic trick for ya, watch the tissue… Bush,”Oh I like this trick…”
#1 After a night watching the Godfather, Bush tries out his new gold leaf garotte
#2 …and when I was an intern I placed my hands on his knees like this…
1. Psst, George, I just squeezed out a raunchy one.
2. The both of you, you’re fired!
#1 [Bush] …but, wait… wasn’t she bald?
#2 [Bush] There it comes, that funniest Teletubbies dance!
#2: “yeah, but I shoot with this hand.”
#1) “Swell! Now I can afford that orthodontist to get rid of this silly gap in my teeth!”
#2) “Is *this* how you do it, Mr. President? Is this how you walk like an Egyptian?”
#1[Bush] She’s taller than she was yesterday.
#2[Spellings] So you see there are two separate internets, right?
#1: She sings really nice, doesn’t she?
#2: This black-box is totally invisible!
#1 Taking to heart the adage that two heads are better than one, President Bush and now Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice have been surgically conjoined. Liberal America hopes that, combined, they’ll make half the man a Sharpton or a Kucinich makes.
#2 “President” Bush smiles on his first day as an Airforce One Flight Attendant Trainee, a proud day for him, as “Vice President” Cheney has never afforded him such responsibility.

Bush – “She won’t do my typing, refuss to do the filing, not to mention the laundry… and we won’t go into what she said when I asked her to buy me lunch. Just what have I gotten myself into???”
#2 Spellings – “We’ll when we’re done leveling out Iraq we’re going to pave it all and turn it into the world’s largest strip mall complete with a Wal-Mart Supercenter, Sam’s Club and my personal favorite store, Dress Barn Woman! Oh! Don’t foget the tanning sallon, JC Penny, and of course for the kiddies Toys ‘R Us…”
Bush – “Oh I could have fun in Toys ‘R Us… they haven’t seen spending until they’ve seen me ransack a Toys ‘R Us”
#1 – “And the Bush said ‘Wanna be Sec. of State?” and I wa like “no Way!” and he was like “Yes way!”
#2 – “Let me demonstrate for the teacher how this move works… First, you grab the child by the shoulders the you shake him…”
1) Mr. President, Turn that frown upside down. Remember, you’re a person and people, um…. like you.
2) This is not the president you’re looking for, move along.
Eric, you’ve got the same title attribute for both pictures
#1 Rice: …and I asked him: “Who will advise you, if I grab the office?”

“Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it’s you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don’t you take it
You’re gonna make it after all
You’re gonna make it after all”
#2: Spellings entertains the President with her world famous “woman looking over a wall” mime routine.
#1: mmmmh …. I don’t know about the black hair though…
#2: Aaaaah…. blonde! Now we’re talking…
#2: you must be this tall to enter the Oval Office.

2: Bush: “Yeah, I’m sure she’ll win you over, too, once you see her Mime the Gettysburg Address… Take it away Spelling!
#1 – Condi (singing): “…I felt so happy I almost cried and then he kissed me.”
Bush (thinking): “Let’s see, I know it was the Crystals, but I just cain’t seem to remember th’ year. Dear Jeezuz, what year was it?”
#2 – Spellings “…this little piggy went to Iraq, and this little piggy stayed home. Now, of course, the piggy that went to Iraq got flattened, just like bacon…”

#2 – Spellings demonstrates her mad Slap Hands technique.
#1 MMMM she’s got nicer hair than Colin (pronounced KOLIN not Cohlin)
#2 Wish I could use hand signs, it’d stop me making such a dick of myself everytime I opened my mouth.
#1: “Wow, that wax dummy really does look like Condi; Madame Tussaud really knows her stuff. Maybe I can bring it around to some photo ops with me instead of Rice…it’d be about as helpful, and that way I’d save on hotel costs…”
#1 Hmm. Better be careful Condi, I hear the W3C is out to get us now.
#2 That’s right, Mr. President. Tables or DIVs can be used inspite of what you heard last night.
#1 (Bush “thinking”, well… more like: to himself) I hope she won’t ask me about Pet Goat, I never really finished Pet Goat…

(Spellings) So the Iraki prisoners were forced to extend their hands and then they were clubbed and had all their fingers crushed…
Ahh, but the more interesting story is about all the smooching
Check the video link below the picture on the right side of the article. Bush must really fancy Spellings — they nearly go lip-to-lip.

2) Spelling: “paa.. dee…cake? is that it?”
Didja see the photo or Martin & Bush looking in opposite directions during a photo op? It was taken by a Canadian Press photographer.
There is a copy accomponying this Regina Leader-Post article with the following caption `U.S. President George W. Bush (foreground) and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin look in opposite directions during a photo opportunity upon Bush’s arrival at Parliament Hill in Ottawa Tuesday.’ The photo looked even better in monochrome in my local paper — it was like Germany’s two-headed eagle.
P.S.: Your tutorial at HT’04 rocked!
