I don’t think I have a good caption, I just want to express admiration for Rep. Gonzalez’ bravery in submitting this himself.

Madigan had his “pants”, Welch has his “hat”

You need signature looks.

I think this photo is tasteless and so is the idea of a caption contest for this photo.

And yet you commented on this caption contest and registered no complaints https://capitolfax.com/2022/03/18/caption-contest-525/

Bite me.

=Barrington= Tasteless? How? Two colleagues meet up and have a picture taken, showing they respect each other. What is wrong with this picture?

Whoever’s pointer finger is more horizonal wins a hat.

Two guys pointing what resembles finger guns at each other is not cool.

Comment by Barrington Friday, Sep 16, 22 @ 3:48 pm
Let me add that I enjoy seeing two politicians being goofy as much as anyone. I just think in today’s environment people, such as me, may be more sensitive to certain gestures.

Comment by Barrington Friday, Sep 16, 22 @ 3:55 pm
===resembles finger guns===

LOL

Take a breath, man.
