There’s a first time for everything, Gonzos.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a skier wearing khakis.
On the left is Liberty Univeristy Chancellor Jerry Falwell, and on the right is Gov. Bob McDonnell.
They were trying out the fake snow on Liberty U’s ski slope the other night.
The text that came with this picture is below. Note the send-up it give to the guv as a future GOP vice-presidential contender.
That hilarious in its own right, but I am sure we can do MUCH better.
So have at it. Give us your funniest caption!
The winner will win a book from Dan’s Bookshelf.
The contest ends Wednesday at noon.
Liberty University news release:
LYNCHBURG, VA-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell visited the Liberty Mountain SnowFlex Centre Thursday evening to attend a private dessert reception in the Barrick-Falwell Lodge honoring Del. Kathy Byron (VA House District 22) for her service to the Commonwealth. Governor McDonnell’s name is already receiving mention as a possible Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in the next election cycle.
During his visit, the governor tried out the year-round ski slope, joining Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. in skiing down the slope three times. “This feels a little more dangerous than speaking at convocation, Chancellor,” McDonnell joked. “This is a new adventure. I’ve usually come to speak here and not to ski, so this is a first.” McDonnell has visited Liberty in recent years to speak to students at convocation and attend other events on campus, such as “Celebration on the Mountain” during the Fourth of July and the annual Boys State convention.
“I love the spirit of the people here. I went to a Christian graduate school myself, and I just love the sense of family, the support structure, the care for one another and just the dedication to the fundamental principles that made our country great,” McDonnell said. “I just really appreciate the whole educational structure here, so I’m always glad to be back.”

That is hilarious. McDonnell is a future presidential contender not VP.
Weren’t you the guy who said Griffith would lose to Boucher….
Governor Bob McDonnell appears in a new Old Navy ad to raise money for transportation!
Practicing for his vice presidential nomination, Bob McDonnell tells Jerry Falwell Jr. he can see Russia from the top of Liberty Mountain!
It’s Liberty U that’s calling him a future VP contender — not me.
So, everybody, BobH is now blaming Liberty for selling the governor short.
#4,
Uh, you said that it was hilarious, not Liberty U. THAT was what I was referring to.
But, I think you already knew that.
What do both our ski hill and academics have in common? Neither are the real thing.
Dan why is it that people can never leave their personal commentary out of a caption this post? Bob H do you need someone to read the instructions to you? Dang it now you’ve made me do it too. Curse you Bob H!
Actually Original Greg I think it’s that he can see Heaven from the top of Liberty Mountain. He knows it’s heaven because Jerry Sr. is waving back at him.
“Having recently abandoned his plans to privatize liquor sales, Gov. Bob McDonnell mounts another slippery slope”
He must be hanging upside down from the lift.
Just for the record, I almost always wear khaki pants when I ski. If you get them one size big they fit great over Under Armour.
Original Greg,
Dan opened the door for that with his addition of the word hilarious to describe McDonnell as a possible VP contender.
I only took it from there.
Do the “instructions” also apply to Dan or does that knife only cut one way?
Jerry(looking at skis): They are really fast
Bob: That’s what she said.
Both: Huh-huh-huh-huh
Bob: They aren’t real though.
Jerry: That’s what she said.
Both: Huh-huh-huh-huh
Did I miss the conclusion of the last caption this contest?
Tom,
You did not. I haven’t announced that winner. (Got sidetracked). I’ll announce a winner for the last contest Saturday morning, then get back on track.
Jr. – I have been snorting this stuff all day and not one buzz.
McDonnell – It’s the wrong kind of snow Rudolph.
Jr. – Snow!! My daddy told me it was Angel Dust.
Rudolph, Prancer and Vixen (holding camera)
Prepare for Christmas Eve by getting Blitzened.
Not certain when Sure Shot Sarah will pay the university a visit, LU institutes ALL VIPS are required to wear RED for safety purposes, especially when out on the slopes!
Wow little Jerry, it’s so cold out here, I bet we could warm each other up! You know conservatives have much more in common than just politics, cutie.
Jerry Jr. Enrolls the guv in LU’s newest academic adventure course—
Skiing for Geeks 101.
Just delete “fake ski” and you have a pretty good caption.
Governor McDonnell tries out his new Christmas gift from the Moral Majority–Skis with lifts in the shoes so he can look taller than Falwell Jr.
Governor McDonnell and JF Jr. Inspect the site from whch the governor is expected to deliver his state of the Commonwealth Address next month. The expected title of the address is “The Sermon on Mt. Liberty”. In it, the Governor is expected to announce that on the advice of the Attorney General he is immediately declaring all federal laws to be null and void within the borders of Va.
In anticipation of the privatization of Virginia’s ABC stores, Jerry Fallwell Jr takes Governor McDonnell on a tour of the future Liberty Mountain Liquor Store.
“I love the spirit of the people here. I went to a Christian graduate school myself, and I just love the sense of family, the support structure, the care for one another and just the dedication to the fundamental principles that made our country great,” McDonnell said. “I just really appreciate the whole educational structure here, so I’m always glad to be back.”
The Govenor reminds us through the quote above that he attended a Christian grad school and also reminds us how much he loved it there. Was he referring to his MBA he got at Boston University. That’s a fine Methodist university. I think the Governor also graduated from Bishop Ireton High School in northern VA. His undergrad degree was from Notre Dame. Probably shouldn’t mention that in front of Rev. Falwell Jr. though.
Ron,
McDonnell got his law degree from Pat Robertson’s Regent U. I bet that’s the one he’s referring to.
All the others were Catholic schools — sounds kind of like he’s making a distinction between Catholic and Christian, eh? (Many in the south do!)(
You got my point Dan.
