— Normally, I detest people who sponge off the government.
— Allow me to pontificate, while the Pontiff attempts to cleanse my sole.
— Feed the hungry? Heal the sick? Next you’ll be telling me to raise taxes to cover the cost.
— You think this is bad? You should see what I do to my constituents!
— Do you think he’ll wash my campaign cash too?  

The cartoon with the winning caption will appear on this blog Saturday and in the following print edition of Roll Call. The contest winner will receive a signed color print of his or her Capitol Quip cartoon from the cartoonist, R.J. Matson.
