Caption This Photo!

Posted February 2nd, 2013 by Lesley Hazleton

Like we really needed this:

skeet

This is how to advance the cause of gun control?

What the hell was Obama thinking?  Why on earth did he feel the need to claim that he was into skeet-shooting “all the time”?  And then to kowtow to Fox News demands for “proof” by releasing this photo?

So go ahead, accidental theologists.  Let’s caption this photo.

Fire away!

Here’s a few that come instantly to mind:

— “Hey, see how tough I am — I can shoot lumps of clay to smithereens all day!”

— “Look, ma, I can make things go Bang!”

— “I’m the new Teddy Roosevelt.”

— “I shoot, ergo I’m American.”

— “I shoot, ergo I am.”

      — “For God and country! Geronimo!”
      — By any means necessary.
      And the Oscar goes to… Abdul Wadood!
