Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This week's Weekend Caption Contest™ was another monster hit. Because there were so many good entries I will make this week a "readers choice" winners week and go with your votes. The winners are presented based (roughly) on the order they were in at the time this listing was made, plus one of the non-highly rated entries of my own choosing. The assignment this week was to caption the following picture:

US Democratic Senator from New York and Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton addresses the New America Foundation earlier this year, in Washington, DC. With the first showdown only days away, US presidential hopefuls will take a break for Christmas and let their television ads propagate some holiday cheer, but not exempt of political undertones. Clinton in her ad plays the role of a doting mother cutting wrapping paper and placing suggestive cards on Christmas gifts: 'Universal Health Care,' 'Energy Independence,' and, 'Bringing our Troops Home. '(AFP/File/Karen Bleier)<br />

Here are the winning entries:

1) (guido) - "Tonight on Mutual of Omaha's 'Wild Kingdom', we track the rare six-horned cankled Hildebeast."

2) (plebe) - "Bring me your tired, whiny and your willing suspension of disbelief."

3) (Mac Lorry) - "A hard shell and hollow inside just like the real lady liberty."

4) (JLawson) - "As your queen - I promise you this.

I will take what you have, and give it to those who wouldn't work for it and will waste it.

I will listen to those who demand more from those who produce things, while producing nothing themselves.

I will insure you will never have to worry about the stresses involved in voting ever again.

And I will cure global warming by holding my breath."

5) (Jim Gags) - "Ladies and Gentlemen... I am the "Statue of Liberalism.""

6) (lunacy) - "If this is liberty than give me death."

The Editors Choice Award this week goes to:

(JimK) - "(asterisk next to "New America)

* actually more like Europe, really, if I'm being honest."

That's it for this week. A new edition of the Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™ will debut Friday morning.

Wizbang Blue: The Democratic View of Palin's Speech

This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.

Jeez.
