Submitted for the Pulitzer jury’s consideration: Getty Images photojournalist Aaron Bernstein has captured the moment Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell casts his vote in all of his post-turtle-esque glory as another voter registers not only his ballot but his opinion. A thing of great beauty, and a joy to behold.

      that is hilarious. I wish I can find the picture of a woman with Perry, she was shooting a bird and he was unaware while he smiled

      ROTFLMAO.

      I still own a campaign button from ’68 that reads, “Nixon’s the one!”

        I remember when we knocked down my grandmother’s clapboard shed, and found some Roosevelt buttons buried in the dirt. My dad washed one off under water, and was left with a white button.

        I liked the one from 1972: “Don’t Switch Dicks in the Middle of a Screw. Vote For Nixon in ’72.” I don’t think I have it anymore.

          Saw a bumper sticker in ’72: “McGovern Can’t Lick Our Dick”
