Or, perhaps, “Mina Harker, the memory of you haunts me.”

If you think that’s funny, check out the winners of the photoshop contest on Americablog!

“In honor of Berke Breathed again retiring, here’s my impression of Bill the Cat”

Not mine - Maxine Dangerous said it at Deus Ex Malcontent.

I told my husband he should modify it (his hobby) to show Obama’s brain exposed by the hinged top of his skull being flipped back, and add a caption, reading of course ” (all together now) . . . Braaaaiinssss!”

I love that image, but it does make me like McCain a bit more.  It’s a little moment of self-deprecating humor, the kind of thing we rarely see from politicians.  I’m still volunteering for Obama, but I appreciate the humanizing factor in that image.

I didn’t kick it but would love to lick it

Comment #6: g murphy  on  10/16  at  08:20 PM

omg, when the heck did this moment happen?  I watched the whole debate and missed the best part!

Comment #7: jfm  on  10/16  at  08:20 PM

togolosh, I thought he just tripped.  Was he making fun?

Comment #8: Amanda Marcotte  on  10/16  at  08:22 PM

professordarkheart - the “evolution” image from the contest is fucking awesome!

Comment #9: togolosh  on  10/16  at  08:22 PM

I didn’t see it in real time, I assume that sticking out your tongue is a sign of goofiness.  AFAIK he went the wrong way around the table after the debate, caught himself, and did a little doubletake during which the picture was taken.  Clearly we need more information.  Is there video?  ‘cause I would love to see that played over and over and over on continuous loop.

I’m feeling a Dark City vibe.

Also, if we’re going the LOLPresidents route, I would offer “Invisible giant ice cream cone”

Yeah…just give him a big hat.

...and Barack’s looking so sweet right next to him.

Lying: Yummy going down, but the aftertaste’s a bitch.

Comment #15: seeker6079  on  10/16  at  09:01 PM

This makes no sense, but for some reason, after seeing him do that, I felt really sorry for him. He was a huge dick throughout the debate but then at the end it seemed like he tried to save face by showing how “silly” he was. He just looked nervous and embarrassed. That mixture of contempt and pity and so uncomfortable!

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way
And I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you
And capture you

Comment #19: Hawes  on  10/16  at  09:54 PM

I saw that this morning and just assumed it was a photoshop deal.  Turns out it’s real.  Caused me to have a rare “I love the world” interlude.

Hey, this is brilliant, brilliant stuff. Should you win in November, I imagine this to be the kind of elevated dialogue you’ll bring to the table. Well, speaking as a fuckwit, fucktard, Bible Spicer (I’m sure I’ll miss a few of your choicest noms de bastard), I say with all earnestnest that I look forward to an Obama Regime in 2008. It’s very simple (and I’ll speak in short sentences so as to not engender your brilliant girlish retorts, to wit “shorter” and “you’re rambling; snore”). I look forward to calling Obama president in 2008. It’s win-win for us. He capably leads us out of this economic morass (of both sides’ making, to be sure). Or, he fails miserably and leaves the door open for us again in 2012 (not Hillary; you’ve already been shown her duplicitous nature and soundly rejected it). So, all hail Obama. Grab his ass and hold on tight. “Show me how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream ... “

Once you go Barack, you never go back. Now back that ass up ...

Comment #22: Sugar Ray Republican  on  10/16  at  10:46 PM

“girlish”?

The picture doesn’t really make me want to mock McCain. But it does look hella weird.

Comment #23: Nenya  on  10/16  at  10:56 PM

“I saw that this morning and just assumed it was a photoshop deal.”

I watched it live with a small gathering, and we all had the same “Did that really just happen?” moment when he did the wazzup-face.

My heart ... my heart ... just kidding!

Comment #25: Ms Kate  on  10/16  at  11:06 PM

Worst time for a hairball, ever.

Comment #26: Robert M.  on  10/16  at  11:54 PM

I think he was just trying to demonstrate to Sarah Palin how to be loose, fun-loving, and have a good time while campaigning.

Comment #27: Northern Virginia  on  10/16  at  11:57 PM

I’m not George Bush, now give me that toukas. lelelelelelellelele! Yum

Comment #28: pjohnson  on  10/17  at  12:16 AM

Jeebus. Looking at that picture is a lot like what I imagine it’s like to look directly into the eyes of Cthulhu.

Comment #29: Dan, Grand High Emperor of Bananas Foster  on  10/17  at  12:40 AM

I feel sort of sorry for McCain in this instance, but I still can’t stop laughing.

Comment #30: keshmeshi  on  10/17  at  01:38 AM

Wait a minute?  Women can vote now?  ACKKK!

Comment #31: FoxinSocks  on  10/17  at  01:56 AM

“McCain imagined Amanda Marcote Nekkid”

Comment #32: Groucho  on  10/17  at  10:12 AM

[Amanda] togolosh, I thought he just tripped.  Was he making fun?

He was attempting to round the table to shake Bob Schieffer’s hand, and Schieffer head-faked him, going the other way. McCain lurched either direction and then did his “ack!” face.  And of course, he was nowhere near Obama at the time.  So this photo—which is certainly hilarious (especially Ken Layne’s take on it)—is a happy accident of timing and perspective.

Concern troll is concerned that Democrats are as mean as Republicans!

Comment #33: Cris  on  10/17  at  11:36 AM

he’s trying to puke up his drawers after Obama forced him to eat them.

That was how I saw it too.  The picture is just a happenstance.  But still funny.

If we’re going to take votes for best caption, I vote for Ms. Kate’s.

Comment #36: Mnemosyne  on  10/17  at  04:32 PM

I like some of the Photoshopped creations. This one especially.
