Saturday Morning TobyToon – Caption Contest #1

Bush Tax Cuts

This is the first of what I hope will become a weekly occurrence – a caption contest for the Redstate readers. I will be aiming for Saturday mornings around Noon each weekend, and will leave it open through Sunday night. A winner will be chosen from all the suggestions, and the speech balloon will be filled in with the best caption.

Have fun!

          Actually, I drew it without any caption in mind. Next time I’ll have to think one up and see how closely the entries are to what I was thinking.

    You gotta give credit to those Republican bomb-throwers and hostage-takers. They sure know how to craft and advance a tax package that more than 70% of American voters absolutely love … while improving YOUR poll ratings.

    Never let a Hostage Crisis go to waste, Mr. President.

    Does this mean we don’t have to ride in back anymore?

    And I thought the twins were petulant.

    Come on out to the ranch after the election, Mr. President. I don’t think you’ll be so busy then.

    Well all right! You finally got it in “D”!

    Cheer up, Mr. President. They didn’t like me either.

    Yes, we can!

    At least you never said “Read my lips.”
