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.”

With Saturday Victories, Romney Retakes Control of the GOP Narrative

Mitt Romney, the perpetually questioned front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, had a rough week. Three embarrassing losses to Rick Santorum in Tuesday’s non-binding contests led to questions about Romney’s conservative bona fides just in time for GOP activists, gathering at their annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, to collectively grumble about it. But in two narrow, largely symbolic victories on Saturday, Romney reclaimed the headlines. Never mind the details. He was winning again.

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?

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.

Janet Napolitano and Ashton Kutcher share a moment when both realize they are only 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

C’mon Sacred you’d do that anyway.

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.
