Barbara Bush, the First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993, didn’t think much of The Simpsons, and said so publicly. Marge Simpson took offense and wrote a polite but firm letter objecting to Bush’s characterization of the show as “the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.” The First Lady responded to Mrs. Simpson’s note and apologized for the remark.

Hooray! It’s time for the Neatorama and Hobotopia Caption Monkey game.
Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That’s Nancy Reagan sitting on Mr. T’s lap (Santa T?), giving him a smooch, at a White House Christmas party in 1983. The First Lady actually requested Mr. T come to the party dressed as Santa Claus. This photo was printed in countless newspapers and magazines around the world.
Your job is to come up with the funniest caption for this photo. I pity the fool that couldn’t come up with at least one. Funniest caption will win an original Laugh Out Loud Cat comic by our favorite artist Adam "Ape Lad" Koford.
For inspiration, don’t forget to check out Adam’s blog.
Update 1/7/09 – Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to jonathan who won with this gem: “I see it in the stars: your career will last forever.”
