ATL Caption Contest: Mr. Easter Bunny, White House Counsel Fred Fielding
Here's a photo of President Bush and his White House Counsel -- Fred Fielding, former senior partner at Wiley Rein (fka Wiley Rein & Fielding), dressed up as the Easter Bunny -- at the White House Easter Egg Roll earlier this week:

Quips our tipster: "One can only hope Fielding isn't splitting hares. Or giving hare-brained advice."
Okay, you're groaning. Think you can do better? Then enter the ATL caption contest. Same rules as before:
We welcome your suggested alternative captions, in the comments. Assuming sufficient response, we'll take our favorites, incorporate them into a poll, and hold a caption contest.
We doubt we'll receive as many submissions as we did for our last caption contest. But we're going to limit the entries this time: we're closing the comments if and when we hit the 100-comment mark. So if you'd like to enter the contest, don't delay. Thanks.
Update (2 PM): Okay, we'll let it get up to 200 comments. We especially appreciate suggested captions that are in some way law-related. What makes this picture relevant to ATL is the fact that the man in the bunny suit is President Bush's chief lawyer (and a former name partner of a leading D.C. law firm).
If we just wanted to post a random, funny photo of the president with the Easter bunny, we would have used this one.
Update (4:50 PM): You seem to be having a lot of fun with this, so we will keep the comments open indefinitely. But in picking the finalists, we will focus on comments that have a connection to the legal profession (as opposed to comments that are more politically oriented or simply random).
Update (3/31/08): Thanks for all the excellent entries. The comments section is now closed.

No stranger to subverting the rules, Bush obtains inside information on the location of an Easter egg containing the $3 trillion he'll need to pay for his Iraq War.

At midnight on October 2 a Tangent Universe branches off the Primary Universe around the time when Georgie is called out of his bedroom by Fred, immediately before the appearance of the Artifact, the faulty jet engine. The inherently unstable Tangent Universe will collapse in just over 28 days and take the Primary Universe with it if not corrected. Closing the Tangent Universe is the duty of the Living Receiver, Georgie, who wields certain supernatural powers to help him in the task.

To compare with pure imagination.

Once he had explained why Americans should be proud of our efforts in Iraq, and the crowd began to cheer, the bunny snuck up on him, holding the carrot low. It was so strange; you could almost see the fury in the frozen blue eyes; the bunny's hands were shaking. I totally knew he was going to strike, but then I woke up.

The Donnie Darko reference got the quote wrong (it's "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?") and has no legal relevance at all.
It's clever that someone made the connection, but it didn't really involve any original thought.
P.S. - Yes, I also happen to think Donnie Darko is an incredibly overrated movie.

Easter Bunny: ATL Tier 3 Grad of the Day
Posted by: Anonymous | March 28, 2008 08:28 PM
1.) In the seventh year of his administration, Bush II realizes that his reliance on Administration legal opinions may not be considered "reasonable" in posterity, and asks himself for the first and only time, "regardless of what the jackass in the bunny suit is telling me, do I think water-boarding is torture…and…where exactly is this Irak (sic) place?" Unfortunately for literally everyone, at that precise moment, a gust of wind fluttered Condi’s spring dress ever so slightly above her knee. The questions remain unanswered.
2.) Not possessing Santa’s sword and shield of coal and gift, the Easter Bunny was relegated to shitting on the Whitehouse lawn to show his displeasure with the Administration. Later, Fielding awoke half-clad in the bushes with an ass-kicker of a hangover and hoped it had all been a dream.
3.) Fielding :
“America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing…
When will you be worthy of your [Easter Bunny]…
America when will you send your eggs to India…”
Bush:
“It’s true I [didn’t] want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I’m nearsighted and psychopathic anyway…”
