'HAHAHAHHA YES!!!!!!' WSJ's 'brutal photo caption' just made our day [screenshot]

This. Is. Amazing.

Last week, The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto posted an op-ed about Bernie Sanders. It included a perfectly unremarkable photo … with a perfectly brilliant caption:

Oh dear. This is a brutal photo caption. pic.twitter.com/BHjhSWL1i9

Sorry, Martin O’Malley. Guess it sucks to be you!

But oh, it’s so good to be the rest of us.

Gosh, wonder how that caption got there …

Could it be a joke? Either way, funny. https://t.co/QZtyQANWhA

Comes from a James Taranto column, so probably just him being mean? https://t.co/vOkiY8Unpe

And you know what? We’re OK with that.

@AlexParkerDC @jamestaranto if so well done.

Update:

Paul Gigot, Editor of the Editorial Page: "The caption is a joke about Martin O'Malley's obscurity… Liberals need a better sense of humor."
