Caption this truly brilliant piece of artwork, certain to rival Picasso or Van Gogh
Edited on Mon Jan-24-11 04:43 PM by Tommy_Carcetti


Just for reference, the black guy is Congressman Allen West (Teabagger/Republican House Representative, Florida--Crazytown). He who once claimed to have a higher security clearance than the President, he who believes Co-Exist bumper stickers are part of an malicious subversive plot against America, he who argued that media outlets reporting the Wikileaks story should be censored, he whose first order of business as Congressman-elect was to appoint as chief of staff a talk radio show host who advocated hanging illegal immigrants and once proclaimed, "If ballots don't work, bullets will."

The white guy is supposed to be Ronald Reagan.

(This was found at an Allen West Facebook fan page, and was submitted--in all honesty--by a true, genuine Allen West fan. I kid you not.)

1. I knew it was West, but unless you told me, I didn't know it was Reagan ...
looks like Ronnie's dissing him though.

2. First I thought the white guy was George Allen.
In that case, the caption would be obvious.

3. Oh, I agree 100%
When I first read the subject line, I thought it was going to be one of those pieces of "art" where some zoo gorilla has smeared his own shit over a canvas. And this is far superior to that. Although I'm not an art critic, nor do I even play one on the internets. So I could very well be wrong about that.

4. This man qualifies for a free mental health exam
As a whitey, I cannot fathom how an African American can be a republican and support their policies. The logic does not compute.

6. Yep...
No matter where you choose to draw your imaginary societal lines, there are assholes, idiots, and jerks in each group.
