Caption contest!

Posted in:

(Suggested by a commenter.)

UPDATE: For additional daytime fun, check out the (I assume unofficial) Rod Blagojevich for Governor blog!

UPDATE: We have a winner. Actually, there are three winners.
Shelbyville wrote:

Seriously I thought that was a picture of Topinka. I must be losing it.

To which North of Shelbyville replied:

Shelbyville, don’t feel bad. I glanced at the picture and also thought it was JBT! It wasn’t till I read the caption about preschool that I looked again and realized who it actually was. That was weird.

I had to chuckle at those two.

Then there was 47th Ward, who wrote:

“Governor Rod Blagojevich (right), pictured here congratulating Dep. Gov. Bradley Tusk, launched his re-election campaign Sunday contending his administration has matured a great deal and learned a lot in three years.”

Gotta love it.
