I did not watch the most recent Republican debate so I have no idea what the context is for this photo. Not knowing the context of what was happening at this very moment in time makes this photo all the more interesting and humorous to me. I can’t help but wonder what Gov. Huckabee might be explaining and what Congressman Paul is thinking.

With this priceless picture, I thought it might be fun to have a contest among the contributors and readers of The Liberty Papers. No prizes, just fun.

We have a winner!

Quincy’s submission:

Huck: “OK, Ron, I give up! How many nanny state proposals does it take before I can be called a ‘flaming liberal’?”

Paul: “You just don’t get it, do ya?”

Runner-up

Sadcox’s submission:

[Huckabee] “Ten. That’s how many corny lines I’ve delivered so far tonight in order to avoid answering a question. Now ask me another question.”

  1. (thought bubble over Ron Paul) “Is he flirting with me? Kiss him Ron, you coward, you know you want to…no, no, that would be wrong…must…resist…primal urges…gold standard…neocons…ah, that’s better.”

    Dude, the debate’s available on You Tube, I’m sure :)

  2. Huckabee was complaining about getting limited time to answer questions, and I am guessing that Ron Paul is thinking something along the lines of “Try walking in my shoes.”

  3. Ron, for the last time, I did not take your purple crayon.

  5. (1) Huck: In order to get more airtime tonight, I’m going to lift Air Force One over my head.

    Ron: Dude, you’re not Chuck Norris

    (2) Huck: Anderson, I’d like to respond to that question by asking everyone to raise their hands and feel the presence of the Lord

    Ron: I can’t believe I’m getting less votes than this loser

  6. Huck: I will build a highway this big through California.

    Paul (In a thought bubble): Should I get up and punch him, McCain or Anderson Cooper first?

  7. I like Doug, Sadcox and Ben’s submissions better so I withdraw mine (since it basically sucked anyway). Caption contests are stupid.

  10. “Ron Paul watches on as Mike Huckabee attempts to explain fiscal responsibility.”

  12. Mike Huckabee begs the Arkansas legislature for just a medium sized tax increase this time.

  15. Yeah! Chris

  16. While Huckabee is doing a bad mime imitation, Ron Paul has a bubble over his head… “Damn, I wonder what he would look like with just the tie on”?
