As predicted, Tatler fans really did “out Drudge – Drudge” submitting hilarious and politically relevant captions for our “world famous” Tatler Photo Caption Contest.
For readers joining us late, here is a review of events leading up to this contest.
Earlier this week, the Drudge Report ran the above photo of President Obama having just a normal day and meeting with a pirate in the Oval Office. Drudge’s headline caption read:
But No Time For Netanyahu…
So I asked Tatler readers to “out Drudge – Drudge” with even better captions and for the record, they did a “heck of a job.”
Here are some of the best and the brightest.
Pirate to Obama: … and so pirate ships rely mainly on wind energy. Now how about that loan, Mr. President?” Submitted by GDI
Pirate to Obama: “So, just how many leagues can a ship travel on one of those Volt batteries you keep talking about?” Submitted by GDI
The President consulting with another “wealth redistribution” expert. Submitted by Alan
“So, once ObamaCare goes into effect, your insurance company won’t be able to call that a pre-existing condition and will have to pay for your prosthesis.” Submitted by FunJohnny
Now, here is a special “shout out” to Chris Henderson, a former Tatler Photo Contest winner who submitted this “treasure trove” of great captions.
“I’ve got a hook too…every time I play golf…which is a lot!”
“I’m going to tax your buried treasure.”
”I have a parrot too. It’s the media.”
And now the grand prize winner of the Tatler Photo Caption Contest is:
Well actually, there are three winners because my usual panel of VIP judges is out enjoying Friday “Happy Hour” and I alone can not decide which one of these is best. So Tatler readers, alive or dead, please vote now, early and often. No photo ID is required.
Chris Henderson submitted these two:
“The pirate sector is doing fine.”
“Your buried treasure is more shovel ready than any job I’ve created.”
And Lammergeier submitted: “You didn’t pillage that.”
Now you understand why declaring only one winner is so challenging!
Thanks to everyone who played along. We look forward to hearing from you next time there is a photo worthy of a Tatler Photo Caption Contest.
And with the way things are going on the campaign trail right now, I fully expect another contest any day.
I apologize, I didn’t see this.
My caption is:
“No Captain, you don’t understand: you have to pay your fair share, I do want the other eye and the other hand.”
I didn’t see it.
Mine is:
Oscar Wilde imitator meets pirate.
So, which economic or foreign policy hotspot was Obama working on when he met this… pirate?
This Photo was taken in 2009 as part of a Disney promotion effort
Are you serious? If you are, you are wrong. It was released this week and appeared on Drudge.
Myra,
“To” Bad didn’t provide the hint?
“To” bad was just projecting back to a happier time.
Got to remember, these Obama stooges live about three years behind the times. They’re still singing Obama’s praises, not realizing three years of gross incompetence by Dear Leader have passed.
While the photo was taken in ’09, the President posted it on his Twitter feed on 09/19/12, that oh-so-important of holidays, “National Talk Like a Pirate Day” since Obama felt nothing else of importance was happening anywhere in the world during the time. /sarcasm/
The President tweeted absolutely nothing two days earlier to commemorate Constitution Day. I’m shocked. That’s not the Obama I know to ignore the Constitution!

Thank you Mr. Henderson!
Not only are you one of the contest winners but you have provided us with valuable information about our president’s priorities.
Thank you Mr. Henderson!
