 Outside the Beltway 

Bonus Caption Contest

Reader Daniel Aronstein suggested this photo for an OTB Caption ContestTM:

Vice President Dick Cheney administered the oath of office to U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Tuesday afternoon on the Senate Floor, marking the official beginning of Leahy’s sixth term in the United States Senate.  PICTURED:  Leahy, his wife Marcelle and Vice President Cheney during the swearing in ceremony.

Write your caption in the comments below.

Bonus points for clever use of the term “swearing in.”

Winners will be announced Monday afternoon.

NOTE: Owing to the vagaries of this photo, my spam filter is putting some of the entries into a moderation queue for my approval. Just post your entry once and I’ll get to them.

Cheney: So is there a reason you are using a "Bad Girls of the Bible and What We Can Learn from Them" for this swearing in, instead of a King James Edition there pal?

Especially with your wife here.

(and yes it's a real book. :-p)

Dick:
I am Dick
Dick I am
I'll watch your swearing in, Dick-I-am

Pat:
Do not Say
F--- off and Damn
I do not like that, Dick-I-am

Dick:
I will not curse you
in the house.
I will not curse you
by your spouse.
I will not say Damn
here or there.
I do not say F--- off
anywhere.
I do not say
F--- off and Damn.
I do not say them,
Dick-I-am.
(underbreath: "So take that A--h---")

Cheney: "...do solemnly swear..."

Leahy: "...do solemnly swear..."

Cheney: "...that I will faithfully execute the office..."

Leahy: "...that I will faithfully execute the office..."

Cheney: "...of Vice President Big Dick Cheney's beeyotch..."

Leahy: "...of Vice President Big Dick Cheney's -- hey, wait a minute!"

At Patrick's most recent swearing in,
He flashed Dick quite a big glaring grin,
And said with a smirk
"You're a neanderthal jerk,
And in '08 with Hill' and Obama we'll win!"

Dick swore in the dickhead named Pat,
Then swore at him and called his wife FAT.
She said with a sneer,
"Cause yer built like a steer,
I forgive you for being a brat!"

Marcelle - "Dick, Pat, both of you need to rub this Bible some and then rub your bald heads. I put some Rogaine on it. And Pat, you need to raise your right hand and slap Dick for his potty mouth."

Dick - "Marcelle, go f*ck yourself and Pat you a**hole, don't use it all up!"

Leahy: "..."

Cheney: "Say it, Pat."

Swearing in. A whole new light, huh Mr. VP?

Oh helk. Rodney won. I laughed until I
cried, and that was at all of the captions,
but Mr. Dill's put that asthmatic wheeze into
it.

My attempt:

"Your suit is off the rack, isn't it?"

"Dick, you barbarian, tell it to the hand."

Cheney - Hey, that's not a Bible...why are you swearing on "Living History", you dumb f**k?

Leahy - You serve your god, I'll serve mine, you twisted a**hole!!
