Here are a few...

#1: "And now it's time to see which candidate was voted off of American Idle this week. Carol, the envelope please?"

#2: Colin tells us how many more times he can tolerate the President insisting that Saddam has "nucular" missiles.

#4: "Your dog has inspired me! I'm going to write a play about your election fiasco in 2000. I'll call it, The Dingo's Got My Ballot!"

#5: "Primary voters, I'd like to remind you that I am the only Democratic candidate without an abnormally-shaped head."

#11: "Jenna? Barbara? Daddy found you some dates to the formal!"

And my question for you authors: Would you be interested in this becoming a regular feature, one photo per week? I'd love to make it permanent.

Photo #1: "Yo, dis bitch riding with me, you dig?"
Photo #2: Colin Powell politely reminds the press crew he does not have time for "jibba-jabba."
Photo #3: "I will lay my hands upon thee, and thou shall be healed!"
Photo #4: "So the dog's really been running the show this ENTIRE TIME?"
Photo #5: Howard Dean stuns the crowd with a bawdy joke.
Photo #6: "Holy shit, I can totally see my bones! This PCP is fucking me up!"
Photo #9: This photo is too gay, I can't even come up with a good comment. It's just. Too. Gay.

One photo per week will be more doable, and fun. Yes, let's.

#3: "Hold still, Sir! He thinks you're a Republican. One false move and he'll strike! You need to very slowly take out your voter registration card..."

#6: President Bush can't believe how few WMD sites we've found in Iraq so far.

#9: Bush thinks: Mental note, send a letter to Clinton that "don't ask don't tell" isn't working.

#12: "All right, who printed this 'Hussein Defeats Bush!' gag newspaper?"
