Caption This Photo: ¡Los Dos Payasos!

This weekend at an event in downtown Denver, what will surely go down as one of the most memorable images of the 2014 election season in Colorado was recorded for posterity and forwarded to us. The event was the Fiestas Patrias festival in Denver's Civic Center Park, celebrating Mexico's Independence Day. The candidate was GOP gubernatorial nominee Bob Beauprez.

The unforgettable photo was made possible by Bob's friend Ronald McDonald.

Ordinarily, we would say a photo like this should never, ever see the light of day, as long as the politician depicted in said photo retained any desire to ever be elected to political office again.

But folks, this is the politician who allowed himself to be photographed in a black hat next to a horse's ass.

And apparently, eight years of ridicule taught Beauprez no lessons on being more careful with one's image.

So don't feel bad about the captions, gentle reader. He's got them all coming.
