​Last week, we asked readers to come up with their own caption for the above photo of Governor Jan Brewer sticking her finger in the face of Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu -- an image that's remarkably similar to a photo that went viral the previous week of Governor Glug-Glug sticking her finger in President Barack Obama's face.

Get the whole story here.

We had a fairly low turnout for this week's contest (only 29 responses, all of which you can see here), but we've narrowed it down to five finalists.

However, only one can win the grand prize: a pay-your-own-way trip to the historic New Times building, a firm handshake, and a lukewarm glass of Phoenix's municipal tap water.

​By popular demand, we submit to you the above photo of Governor Jan Brewer fingering Pinal County Sheriff/Congressional candidate Paul Babeu for this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest.

Adding to the fun is the (ahem) hil-arious caption added by Fox News host/Brewer's BFFF Greta Van Susteren, which is in reference to how similar the image is to the the now-viral photo of Brewer stickin' her finger in the face of President Barack Obama.

See our post on Babeu's press release about the photo here.

This is how you play You Write the Caption: We show you a picture (above) and you -- in the comment section of this post -- write what you think would be an appropriate caption.

Jan Brewer's finger is getting way too much attention these days.

​

Fox News host/Governor Jan Brewer's BFF Greta Van Susteren broadcasted a photo last night of the governor sticking her finger in the face of Pinal County Sheriff/Congressional candidate Paul Babeu.

Brewer's bestie even hams it up, noting that the governor is an "equal opportunity pointer."

The photo of Babeu, as you can see above, is quite similar to the photo of Brewer sticking her finger in the face of President Barack Obama that went viral last week. More on that here.

Brewer has since whored the photo out to raise money for her political action committee -- and Babeu, in a Joe Arpaio-esque act of perverse media slutiness, issued a press release bragging about his encounter with the business end of Brewer's finger.

Jan Brewer (sigh)...

​For a lot of Arizonans, the photo taken last week of Governor Jan Brewer sticking her finger in the face of President Barack Obama was humiliating. If you're like us, you spent the past several days explaining to out-of-state friends that not everyone in Arizona is a classless sand-billy -- despite the state's dopey governor.

Jan, however, seems quite proud of her lack of poise while welcoming the president to the "Colt Single-Action Army Revolver State" -- as we predicted, the governor already is politicizing the photo and using it to raise money.

Last week, we asked our readers to come up with their own captions for the above photo of Governor Jan Brewer humiliating Arizona (yet again) for this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest.

Brewer, as you know, stuck her finger in the face of President Barack Obama as the two argued on the tarmac at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa on Wednesday.

Get all the details here.

​Governor Jan Brewer yesterday released a copy of the letter she handed to President Barack Obama on Wednesday as the two argued on the tarmac at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

Initially, Brewer refused to release the letter.

Regardless, New Times has come into possession of not only the letter the governor handed Obama, but a rough draft of Jan's note, too.

The draft seems like it's a little more Brewer's speed -- check it out below

​Once again, Arizona is getting national media attention for something humiliating. Once again, it's Governor Jan Brewer's fault.

Governor Glug-Glug, as we're sure you know, stuck her finger in the face of President Barack Obama as the two apparently argued on the tarmac at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa on Wednesday.

As promised, we've opted to go with the above photo for this week's New Times You Write the Caption Contest.

​The White House is downplaying the embarrassing scene that unfolded on the tarmac at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport on Wednesday, when Governor Jan Brewer was photographed sticking her finger in the face of President Barack Obama as the two (according to Brewer, anyway) disagreed on Brewer's account of a past meeting the two had.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with the president yesterday that the incident was "overblown."

"It's not a very big deal, at all," Carney says. "Some of this is political theater, to some degree, I guess."

He went on to say "I really assume you guys have more important issues to cover."

Maybe, but it's not everyday you see a sitting governor shake her finger in the face of the president of the United States.
