Former president Bill Clinton reached out for your best captions, and here is what he found:

6th Place: Cowboy Blob — Make a Wish!

5th Place: Wyatt Earp — Bill Clinton follows his instincts when Sharon Stone crosses her legs.

4th Place: Rodney Dill — Bill: “Grab my ankles… I can’t reach their wallets yet.”

3rd Place: RT — Even though Bill likes to be touched by complete strangers, the AARP’s move to have him crowd surf was a bit unnerving.

2nd Place: elliot — Bill finally “inhales”, here Secret Service men try to keep him the jumping into what he imagines is a “mosh pit”.

1st Place: Deathlok — Finally, after years of trying to break through the dimensional barrier, the forces of Hell finally drag Clinton back to where he belongs.

The new caption contest is ready for your best efforts.

It’s time for this weeks bRight & Early Caption Contest, where I give you a week to enter your best captions (mostly because this is a new feature and it takes that long to get enough entries). Up this week – First Laddie Wannabe and former President Bill Clinton.

What say you?

This picture, which I found at Political Vindication, has to be the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. That makes it perfect for a caption contest, but I’m putting it below the fold, for the children and those with weak stomachs.

Every time I read something new about the sparring going on between Barack Obama and two-for-one campaign of the Clintons I’m reminded of an old country saying that Obama should take to heart.

“You need to remember that when you wrestle with a pig you’re both gonna get dirty. . . and the pig likes it.”

I must not have enough sleep. This headline cracked me up:

Analysis: Clinton goes for young voters

Would that be Hillary or Bill?

It is the number one tool in the magicians bag of tricks — Misdirection. In the world of political theater Bill Clinton is it’s master.

Bill Clinton said Tuesday the public would benefit from more attention to the records of the presidential candidates—like his wife’s—and less to daily skirmishes that “won’t amount to a hill of beans.”

[...]

Clinton talked up his wife’s experience and—by implication—pointed out rival Barack Obama’s relative lack of it at a campaign stop in Keene.

“One percent of the press coverage was devoted to their record in public life,” he said. “No wonder people think experience is irrelevant.”

Actually it’s not that people think experience is irrelevant, it’s that we don’t think that Hillary has any that is of any consequence.

Of course the issue with experience that she gladly claims but never explains is the least of her current troubles. Her falling poll numbers, Obama opposition, and Hsu issues have all taken center stage over the last few days. It’s no wonder that the Clinton camp is trying to change the focus with a bit of misdirection. They would love to be able to say, “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” In today’s world there are too many people watching the “magic” and they aren’t being taken in.

That’s what this headline made me think.

Hillary Jokes Bill Looked Into No. 2 Job

Of course my humor is a little bit goofy first thing in the morning.

I was going to do a serious post on the re-election of William Jefferson in Louisiana until I read the closing paragraph of this AP story.

Before the bribery scandal erupted, Jefferson had climbed to the pinnacle of the Democratic Party. He was a confidant of former President Bill Clinton.

That’s the pinnacle? Man, that’s just too funny.

Two more stories (source, source) have got mixed up somehow. I thought I had this fixed. Any help getting things straightened out would be appreciated.

At one point, snow was falling at a rate of about 3 inches an hour in Denver. A 125-mile corridor from Colorado Springs to the New Mexico line was under a blizzard warning.

Former President Bill Clinton, saying he was trying to deliver on a birthday promise to his wife, told more than 400 cheering Democrats Thursday that the party can take back Congress if they get Democrats to the polls and pull some Republicans to their side on Election Day.

“We haven’t had a real good storm like this in awhile,” he said. “It dumped a lot of snow pretty quick and then moved on.”

After Albany, Clinton flew to Syracuse for an airport get-out-the-vote rally aimed at helping a number of congressional candidates in central New York.

“This storm really put them over the top,” said Molly Cuffe, a spokeswoman for the industry group Colorado Ski Country USA. “Obviously when you get this much snow this early, it helps generate excitement.”

Clinton said that many Republicans, as well as independents, are fed up with the GOP and may be ready to switch if they are encouraged by Democratic activists.

A heavy snow job indeed.

GOP Bloggers (Jonathan R.) Bill Clinton Still Can’t Stop Lying — “What is it about Democratic former Presidents? Why can’t they have any class? Bill Clinton reminded America of his overwhelmingly narcissistic self-absorpotion in his pathetic legacy defense with Chris Wallace on Sunday.”

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) UNIFIL Bigger But Just As Ineffective — “The expanded UNIFIL force tasked to implement UN Security Council resolution 1701 has almost no mandate to do so and has received no leadership from the UN, the New York Times reports this morning. The force commander believes that he can do nothing unless authorized by the Lebanese Army — and so nothing they do:”

That’s it for this morning. My minds just not in it today. Perhaps later.
