Okay, one last post from the White House Correspondents Dinner, and I promise I’ll stop. This, of course, is from our incomparable White House Photo Blog. But it really, really, really needs a better caption. Get to work, Swampland commenters!

UPDATE: We have some good ones so far. For instance:

From commenter flacidcasual:

AK: Seeing as the President made Kumar Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, surely I could be Under Secretary for Transportation. I did find my car in the end.

From commenter Kevin:

“I’m in charge of preventing bombs, Ashton, and if you make a sequel to ‘What Happens in Vegas’ there will be hell to pay.”

    Audacity of Dope: Tales of a Toking Teenage Obama

    We knew Barack Obama smoked weed in high school because he wrote about it in his books. What we didn’t know until Buzzfeed posted these choice nuggets (I’m so sorry) from David Maraniss’s new book on the President’s younger years, is the giggle-worthy details of his “Choom Gang” lifestyle, which are right out of a buddy stoner flick. Obama and his friends drove around the lush Hawaii countryside, hot-boxing their VW bus and re-upping with a long-haired pizza-tossing dealer named Ray, who Obama thanked in his yearbook “for all the good times.”

    Obama Stumbles? Why the President’s Right to Talk About Bain

    The meme of the day in journo-world is that President Obama has stumbled at the outset of the general election campaign. The evidence for this? Well, uh, there isn’t very much, really–except that a few Democrats have criticized his campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital and that Obama’s fundraising is merely humongous, instead of obscenely humongous. The two phenomena are linked, of course: Obama isn’t getting the usual haul from Wall Street because he has outrageously–outrageously!–tried to regulate the bankers who did so much to crash the economy in 2008. The handful of Democrats squawking are people who either (a) get money from private equity firms or (b) have retired and joined Mondo Casino. But there is another side to this story:

    There’s a specific word that describes those who are both voyeurs and sadists, right?
    .
    If that’s so, would there be a word for the victims of said voyeur-sadists?
    .
    Well, on behalf of victims everywhere, may I please ask:

    I’m not very good at these, but I’ll go off the comment I made about Ashton’s tie when I first saw it.

    “No ma’am, it’s a bowtie, it’s not a security threat, honest!”

    KT: I’ll go to the mat for you on a topic of your choice if you give us a captioning contest that contains a combination of any of the following- Rush, Bush, Cheney, Palin, Joe the Plunger or Coulter. Surely there are photos in the archives that contain them.

    Look Janet. Demi is just over my right shoulder. If you pretend you’re hitting on me I might get lucky tonight.

    C’mon Sacred you’d do that anyway.

  • sacredh

    yutsano: If you’re somehow implying that I’m just an opportunistic whore that would do anything to get a photo we could turn loose on, I have only one word to say in my defense. Busted.
