Captionary: Gramm-pa McTongue-in-Cheek edition

By GottaLaff

LETTERMAN SPOILER ALERT: Two quotes from tonight's show at the end of this post.

Marc Ambinder posted the results of his caption contest to this photo. Here are a few of them. The two winning captions completely cracked me up. They're at the end.

"Obama's Natural Gas Proposal Leaves McCain Wretching"

"Maybe if I do my killer Grandpa Simpson impression I can pick up some of that 18-24 demo."

"What an attack of integrity looks like."

One reader wanted to make sure her submission was kept separate from her name. "anonymous, please, before I get Joe-the-Plumbered."

One reader quoted the great Satchell Paige: "Don't look back: Some crazy old coot might be chasing after you, panting, with his tongue hanging out and his clammy meat hooks reaching for your skinny ass."

Among the worst: "A chill went up Chris Matthews' leg and a kidney stone went down John McCain's pant legs."

Among the best: "I'm not Bush. You see, my friends, I only fake choking on a pretzel -- hopefully eliciting some media sympathy."

"McCain tries to steal Obama's mantle of change."

"Must ... Touch... The... One."

"John McCain reacts to the revelation of what Joe the Plumber actually does for a living."

"Yuck! Terrorist Cooties."

The runner up:

McCain's advisers had counseled against debate prep with Gene Simmons for precisely this reason.

And the winner is:

Republican nominee John McCain chokes on a ACORN at the third and final presidential debate in Hempstead, New York.




LETTERMAN SPOILER ALERT
(two quotes from tonight's show):
Gramm-pa to Letterman: "I screwed up."

And one of Letterman's killer lines: "Can you stay?"
