Caption this! - "If you mess up one more time, this is where I'm going to throw you!" Your turn.

Picture, by the way, is of Karl Rove crawling under Air Force One as a joke.

  • "Ow! my demon tail is still caught under there"
  • "Ow! The suitcase is eating my legs."
  • We finally see the true devotion that Rove has for Bush
  • "So who's the Big Wheel in the White House now?"
  • Crap! Runway quicksand! Again.
  • You finally did it ... Damn you! Damn you all to hell! (pause pause pause) What's this plane doing in my shot? Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
  • Damn! The plane's locked up and I gotta drop a Constitutional Right. Well, hope no photographers are watching ...
  • "I beg you, Jesus, if I am misusing your name for political gain, then run me over with a giant fucking rubber wheel!"
  • Ok! posted by Jesus at 1:36 UTC on October 20 Whoa!
  • Kinda messed that up, but it was my first try.
  • He kind of looks like Darth Vader after Luke removes his helmet.
  • "Let's Roll"
  • He is bereft because his rolly-suitcase fell over, rendering it imobile. He is greiving over the loss of his signed McCarthy flask and the extra viles of anthrax.
  • PatB HAHAHAHAHAHA! * mops up beer running from nose *
  • "Let's Roll" *applauds*
  • "Where's that noise coming fro=-arrrgh"
  • From salon: Earlier today, we invited you to submit captions to accompany the photograph above of presidential advisor Karl Rove. We're shocked -- shocked! -- at your response, and not just because way too many of you have way too much time on your hands. It turns out some of you really, really don't like the man the president calls "Turd Blossom." There are those of you who actually wish the man ill. One reader, recalling that old joke about a hundred lawyers going over a cliff, suggests: "A good start." Another channels Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Big wheel keep on turnin'." A respondent who values brevity offers "one word, baby: justice." And a day-dreaming writer asks, "Why do I always wake up before the good part?" There were topical jokes: "There must be a flu shot around here somewhere." There were typical jokes: "Wheels come off Bush campaign." And there were strategy jokes: "Stay the course! Everything's fine," and "Hey, watch me divert more media attention away from the fact that we lost three straight debates." There were state-of-the-race jokes: "If the Supreme Court won't stop John Kerry, I will!" Digs at Republican campaign tactics: "Abandoning his earlier 'loyalty oath' requirement, Bush now sifts true supporters from would-be hecklers by asking them to lay down on runways as Air Force One lands." And, of course, there were jokes about whatever that was on Bush's back: "OK, Mr. President, just roll the plane forward a bit and we'll press this bulge out of the back of your jacket." But we're not living in a Sept. 10th world anymore. We all know what it takes to win the war on terror, and a whole lot of you knew exactly what it would take to win this caption contest. That's right: "Let's roll."
  • Well, yeah, but I thought of it first.
