Question of the day

Friday, Mar 12, 2010 - Posted by Rich Miller

* The following photo is of Steve Kim, the Republican nominee for Illinois attorney general vs. Lisa Madigan…

* The Question: Caption?

…Adding… A small handful of GOP versions of Bobby Rush are whining in comments that this question might somehow get out of hand because Kim is an Asian-American, even though they haven’t. So, just to placate these silly folks and keep the comments flowing smoothly, please don’t be racist in comments, even though nobody has been and undoubtedly wouldn’t be.

…Adding More… The photo in question is used by Kim’s own law firm.

    What? Lisa’s not running for Governor? US Senate? UN Secretary?


  2. - Steve - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:01 am:

    I’m the non-palm card candidate and I look it.

  5. - Conservative Republican - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:03 am:

    So this blog is now trolling for snide remarks based on a person’s looks?

    Something to be proud of, I suppose?


  6. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:04 am:

    “If i don’t move, maybe Lisa won’t go after me so hard … dont’ blink, don’t blink, don’t bllllliiiiinnnnkkkkkk….”


  7. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:04 am:

    CR, why do you assume I picked the pic because of his looks? That comment of yours says more about you than you might want us to know.

Be strong … just gonna sit here, … stoic … maybe I should have a sign UNDER me, ‘look at me, I am running for AG as a Republican against Lisa!’… and just sit right here … Nope, just gonna sit here … someone will eventually ask me why I am here …”

    My campaign schedule for this weekend? Let’s see…

    Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, and Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time.

    The Korean Community is really enjoying the lib/dem commentary on one of theirs.


  22. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:19 am:

    TO, what the heck are you talking about? Are you really trying to place the race card? Are there any racist comments here? Anything even approaching it?

    Take a breath, man. It’s comedy.


  23. - "Old Timer Dem" - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:20 am:

    Hi, My name is Steve Kim and I am taking one for the team in exchange for future considerations.


  24. - Brian Costin - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:21 am:

    Here’s an obvious caption:

    Steve Kim, Republican nominee for Illinois Attorney General


  25. - D.P. Gumby - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:22 am:

    Where did the rest of the white-tail herd go?


  26. - Tired of silliness - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:22 am:

    I agree with Conservative Republican. This appears to be a snide fest based on appearance alone. The man is doing nothing that would normally be associated with a remark. He’s not pointing at anything or in any way showing anything. Rich - you’re out of line.


  27. - I'm just saying - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:22 am:

    people are strange, and their fake outrage is quite comedic……..


  28. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:23 am:

    ===This appears to be a snide fest based on appearance alone. ===

    You apparently didn’t read any of the comments.

    Bite me.


  29. - I'm just saying - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:24 am:

    I better get black robes out of this, and they better not stick me in Traffic court!!!!


  30. - "Old Timer Dem" - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:24 am:

    Tired of silliness, would you be saying the same thing if he was a nerdy looking polish guy?


  31. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:27 am:

    Rich, these are the same people who couldn’t wait to make fun of the politics of a SLC or even a Blago … A part and parcel of politics IS political humor … you take a photo looking like a deer in the headlights, you get a silly caption, and if anyone has been on this blog longer than 17 seconds would realize EVERYONE gets some ribbing.

    I had yet to see anything offensive or even derrogatory … the picture, along with the political climate can lead to jokes … get over yourselves, do a litle digging on this blog … and realize … hey … its humor


  32. - Easily Entertained - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:28 am:

    “What’s happenin’, hot stuff?”


  33. - grand old partisan - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:30 am:

    It’s worth point out, Rich, this is the first cap contest I’ve even seen you post without a disclaimer of any kind. Thankfully, I don’t see anything here “racist” just yet, but the comments from Pat (at 11:06) and Piccadilly (at 11:11) are jokes based on the man’s race. That is dangerous territory, or at least, is it not??


  34. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:31 am:

    No.


  35. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:31 am:

    ===this is the first cap contest I’ve even seen you post without a disclaimer of any kind===

    Honestly, I didn’t even think there would be a problem. And so far, I was right.

    …Adding… I often run these caption thingies without disclaimers and then go back and add disclaimers if a problem develops in comments. So, what you have seen might’ve been due to the timing.


  36. - Boggles the Mind - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:31 am:

    Folks, the joke is pretty obvious. Here is a guy who is running against the most popular elected official in Illinois. He has barely a prayer of winning. The same joke would have been in order when Thomas Jefferson Ramsdell ran against Dan Hynes in 2002. No chance. Hasn’t a darned thing to do with his looks. Lighten up.


  37. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:34 am:

  42. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:39 am:

    OK, you handful of overreacting silly nillies, I’ve posted a disclaimer. Sheesh.


  43. - George - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:40 am:

    If people don’t realize it just yet… The reason this is posted is because this campaign photo of Mr. Kim’s is simply god-awful - like it was taken by a phone in front of a white board. Yet, it is being used in all the profile stories of him (google it, you will see).

    It that may only qualify as acceptable it it were a Driver’s License photo.

    (Maybe he should be running for Secretary of State!)


  44. - whatever - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:40 am:

    Rich, the “Bite Me” comment made me laugh out loud… literally!

  52. - TJ - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:46 am:

    Also…. what the heck is going on here? Rich posts these caption posts all the time with a whole bunch of candidates and public officials. Snark is heavily encouraged in these types of things, so jumping the gun and assuming that he’s/we’re only doing this is because he’s Asian is just completely laughable in how ludicrous it is as well as completely out of context with anything that has ever been posted on this site by Rich or any of the commentators (that have not been banned, that is).

    tl;dnr version - stop looking for controversy where there is none.


  53. - dupage dan - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:46 am:

    Kim was Special Assistant to former Governor Jim Edgar. That was over 10 years ago.

    Kim was the Vice President of Government and Public Affairs at Time Warner Cable. Not exactly an intern job.

    The guy is close to 40 and for comment we have what could well be a high school photo.


  58. - TJ - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:53 am:

    @ fed up: LOL, winner so far in my book.

    @ Ron Burgundy: O.o …… talk about one heck of an observation……


  59. - Lazy Intern - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:54 am:

    Why did I run for this seat, even my own party knows I will not run.


  60. - KeepSmiling - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:56 am:

    “Who’s Lisa Madigan? She’s not running for Inspector General. But I am.”


  61. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 11:59 am:

    ===The guy is close to 40 and for comment we have what could well be a high school photo.===

    Please.

    If you Google Image Search his name and attorney general, it’s the first photo that pops up.

    We’ve made fun of a huge number of photos on this site in the past - including an actual high school photo of Rod Blagojevich. Less phony umbrage, please.


  62. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:01 pm:

    By the way, the photo we’re using was taken from the Asian Republican blog.

    http://asianrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/12/steve-kim-to-run-for-illinois-attorney.html

    And if you follow that link, they say their info is from the IL GOP.


  63. - George - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:02 pm:

    He looks way too intelligent and non corrupt to be running for any office… however… the caption should read…

    “no comment…but would you please turn off the headlights”


  66. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:08 pm:

    The photo is also used by his law firm… http://rkjlegal.com/Partners.html

    So, in summation, every objection by every goofball on this post has been thoroughly rebutted. Embarrassed much?


  67. - Moving to Oklahoma - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:14 pm:

    I too am upset about the photo being used. Its not nearly as bad of a photo as I would expect for a caption contest.


  68. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:17 pm:

    “Steve Kim reacts to the congratulatory email he recieved from one voter named ‘Lisa M.’ from Chicago”


  69. - grand old partisan - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:17 pm:

    Rich, I have to respectfully disagree with you. The Toyota joke in particular is dangerously close to being ‘racist’ because Kim in not Japanese, he is Korean. Would you be ask quick to dismiss as harmless a joke about Louis Gutierrez that mistook him for a Mexican?


  70. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:18 pm:

    ===The Toyota joke in particular is dangerously close to being ‘racist’ because Kim in not Japanese, he is Korean.===

    The joke was actually anti-racist. If you possessed reading comprehension and a slightly open mind, you’d see that pretty easily.


  71. - 47th Ward - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:19 pm:

    GOP, Toyotas are made in Indiana. If anything Kim should be offended by that. And it’s Luis, not Louis.

    Take your faux outrage somewhere else. It’s transparent and unbecoming.


  72. - Louis G. Atsaves - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:21 pm:

    Caption? “One of the Bright New Faces of The Illinois Republican Party.”


  73. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:27 pm:

    Everyone who is “appalled and upset” … have you posted a caption on this blog before? Should we SEE what your humor consists of? The hypocricy is mind-blowing…

    This is his OFFICIAL business and campaign photo … the law firm and campaign, with Mr. Kim’s approval use this picture … questions?

    Politics and humor go together … the political reality is that running against Lisa is an uphill fight, and his picture has humor value within the context of his uphill battle …geez, no wonder we can’t get the ILGOP to win, we have lost touch with any semblence of reality and the humor that reality breeds …


  74. - True Observer - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:34 pm:

    “The photo is also used by his law firm…”

    Asians prize success in youth. That’s why they do so well in school.

    The clash of the orient and the occident.

    The fact that Kim is trying to attract asian (corporate) clients by showing that he is a successfull kid, is no excuse to use the same photo to try to demean/belittle him in an electoral setting.


  75. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:38 pm:

    “Mr. Kim reacts to the State Board of Elections’ refusal to have his name appear on the November ballot as one of the following;

    ‘O’Kim’, ‘McKim’, ‘Steven Burke Kim’, or ‘Steven Murphy Kim’. No word on an appeal.”


  76. - grand old partisan - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:40 pm:

    47th – please don’t disparage my sincerity. My mother was a nurse who worked for a Korean-American doctor. Very nice lady…I admired her and her family a lot. I know how insulting they found it to be confused with other “Asian” nationalities, particularly in jokes at their expense.

    Rich – It’s wasn’t a lack of intelligence or closed-mindedness on my part. I simply assumed the worst of “Pat,” and as someone about whom the worst is often assumed in these threads, I am truly sorry for that. I’m guessing that your unnecessarily harsh tone is ironically based on mistaken belief shared by 47th…that I’m rabble-rousing just to be ‘that guy.’ Well, I am not.


  77. - George - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:40 pm:

    Oswego… you forgot ‘MadiKim’


  78. - D.P. Gumby - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:40 pm:

    It’s always so amusing when the party of Rush (femi-nazis), Reagan (welfare queens), and racism (anti-civil rights extension, anti-immigration, voter ID, etc) is “shocked, shocked” to find imaginary racism when they are so skilled at both practicing and ignoring actual racism.


  79. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:41 pm:

    TO, unless you come back and say that was snark, I’m gonna have to ban you for posting a racist comment.

    How delightfully ironic. lol

  86. - partial observers - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 12:59 pm:

    I think the problem is that this is one of the only captions contest that just asks us to comment on their face. All the others were some funny shot of an action or two people together who made for unlikely partners. Having just someone’s photo up and asking people to make comments - even though it’s innocent, it gives the perception of mocking someone for their looks. And as we all know from reading the Cap Fax, perception is half the battle.

    And with that said, it’s not my website. If I don’t like, or anyone else doesn’t, we can always just move along.

  101. - dupage dan - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 2:40 pm:

    It Mr Kim isn’t aware of the capfaxblog, he will soon be. If he takes offense to the barbs thrown at him here his skin is much to thin for Ill politics. His may be a throw away candidacy - he ain’t got a chance - but kudos to him anyway. Maybe some treat has been promised for falling on this particular grenade. The windmills await.


  102. - whoseyourdaddy - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 3:03 pm:

  104. - wordslinger - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 3:24 pm:

    The Cap Fax caption contest is by far the most valuable, free publicity the Kim campaign could have ever hoped for.

    Some great captions, too.


  105. - Rich Miller - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 3:38 pm:

    ===I think the problem is that this is one of the only captions contest that just asks us to comment on their face. ===

    We’ve had several of those. One that I remember off the top of my head was Tom Cross’ new official photo.


  106. - wordslinger - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 3:40 pm:

    Politics aside, the aesthetics of the photo are compelling. It certainly prompts a long look.

    If you saw this shot, without a name or any context, in some sort of “artistic” media, it would still grab your attention. It’s so severe.

    How’s about a new photo coming up on the law firms’ website in 3,2,1….


  108. - Way South of the Border - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 4:06 pm:

    The comb-back says “ponytail.” The suit says “no way.”


  109. - just for fun - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 4:30 pm:

    how about
    “I should have shaved my unibrow before I got on the tanning bed.”

    “Enter The Madigan Dragon”

    I was in a meeting and missed the famous “bite me.” It is reserved only for a special few and on rare occasion. I love it!! My weekend is now off to a great start!

    He looks like a proper young man, and at this point in his career looks as if he has nothing to hide. Perhaps he will make us all proud?


  112. - asian dude - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 7:13 pm:

    The reference to Long Duk Dong is borderline offensive. “The Donger” is a racial caricature of Asian Americans-foreign, nerdy, effeminate-and in nits time was an effective way of demeaning someone.


  113. - late night anon - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 9:58 pm:

    I went to his law firm’s web site. There are at least two other pictures on there goofier than his.

    Caption: Behind these glasses is a republican superman.


  114. - Reformed - Friday, Mar 12, 10 @ 10:19 pm:

    —-CR, why do you assume I picked the pic because of his looks? That comment of yours says more about you than you might want us to know.—-

    Because you did. Why else would you have posted the pic?


  115. - Obviously - Saturday, Mar 13, 10 @ 12:15 am:

    Another attempt by Rich Miller to help Lisa Madigan. He’s apparently made it his personal mission to ridicule anyone who dares question her or run against her.
    She’s the only politician he steps in to personally defend.
    What’s the preoccupation Rich?

    Please move the headlights out of my eyes so I can get on with my “campaign”


  117. - Say What? - Saturday, Mar 13, 10 @ 7:41 am:

    I am glad that I got a chance to see the face behind the name. A friend of mine knows him personally and says that he is a pretty decent kind of guy. Not quite as a attractive as Lisa but who is?
