Anyone can be caught in the wrong moment by just about anyone.  It’s funniest when the whole country is watching.

In recent weeks politicians have been caught trying to impersonate zombies, being moose in headlights and just being plain weird.  So what I have here are a couple of un-photoshopped images of politicians in their brightest moments.  Not that they’re being bright about it, but the people watching can come up with any explanation in their boundless imaginations as to what the heck they were thinking at the exact moment the photos were taken.

French president Sarkozy readies his fists. - Can’t have one of these without Bush.  I mean, honestly, for the last 8 years, he’s been made fun of, impersonated and whatnot, but hey, this isn’t PURELY about him — even the French get it!  In this image Sarkozy looks to be readying his fists … to probably box President Bush.  Now wouldn’t that be a riot if he did go through with it?!

Palin winks! – During the debates, Palin was clearly winking at the camera, like she was sharing an inside joke with one of the viewers — was it something like, “hey, I memorized what you told me to say, John, people are *wink* buying this, right?”  Did she find out that several male Republicans find her attractive and was using it to convince them that she was making sense?  Well, check out this video below if you’re not convinced it was just one expression.

McCain, “puh-leeeeeasssse!” – If there’s anything about McCain, he’s constantly entertaining.  He makes weird faces, and they’re just funny.  I mean, if you were Maverick, you’d know pretty much anything and everything — you’ve got experience, after all.  In this image, McCain sorta demonstrates that he looks like he knows something that you don’t, by retorting to a, “that one?  Puh-lease!  I knew about it before you even thought about it!”

Obama fan stare. – Now here’s a weird one.  An Obama supporter gives her candidate a weird look — and by weird, I mean weird-weird, not the sorta-good-weird look.  Was she thinking, “if I stare at you long enough, will you be president?”  Will Obama supporters share this look by next week?  I hope not, that’d make for a really awkward wait by the voting booth.

McCain, McCain, McCain. – Some have dubbed him a “zombie” for this one, or, the less eloquent, but hits the mark: “MCCAIN HAET OBAMA BUTT.”  This is still my favorite image from this or any election campaign, really.  Patriotic viewers of the third debates have stood by their computers, churning photoshopped versions of this image less than an hour after the debates were over.  Which just goes to show — people can spot zombies when they see one.

Well, there you have it — those’re my takes on several images from this elections.  Can you come up with captions for these?  In my opinion, the best images to make captions of are the ones that did happen in real life — makes you think: “what were they thinking?!”

Are there any newer booboos caught on cam?  Share them over @ The Jabber.
