The Ubiquitous Candidate

Okay, this is just getting crazy. The news has just reported that Captain Kangaroo (R.I.P.) has died, and this is the picture they’re including with the obituary :



Seriously media, every story this week doesn’t need to relate to Howard Dean in some way. They should have used this picture instead.


Is it just me, or does the Captain look like he’s about to pop a cap in someone’s ass?

    actually.. I think it looks like he’s blowing a kiss to his cameraman.. but that’s just me.

  2. I just wonder if You Can’t Do That On Television ever sent him a check for stealing his “ping pongs” bit and turning it into green slime.

  5. when i was getting my degree in education, i took several classes that studied a lot of teaching methods that were started by him. he was a great man who deserves better than to be remembered by making fun of a picture of him.

  6. I miss the Cap’n. He was truly one of a kind. How many good-natured shows like his are on TV today? NONE.
