Caption this!
Having heroically captioned the first part of the now famous whispered exchange between Hill and John, give this one the old college try:
The uncreative captioners at the A.P. actually thought this was an interesting caption:
Democratic Presidential hopefuls, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY., left, and John Edwards, talks during a forum at the NAACP convention in Detroit, Thursday, July 12, 2007. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio responded angrily Friday to a conversation overheard between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Edwards, in which the two spoke of limiting the number of candidates invited to participate in presidential forums. The Edwards-Clinton exchange was picked up by several broadcasters on an open microphone after the NAACP forum in Detroit on Thursday. All eight Democratic candidates took part in the program, including Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Mike Gravel and Kucinich.
They actually call that a caption? No wonder the mainstream media is losing audience! Show 'em what it should have said...
UPDATE: Whatever it was that Hillary said to Edwards, I like to imagine it was in response to this (Edwards waiving around a charicature drawing of Hillary while on the stump) the day before.

"OK Sissyboy ... here's how you get more votes: With that hair, you need to insert some lisping into your speech, use your hands a lot more, and swish the hips when your moving around. And work in some more y'alls when speaking with the black folk. I know you can do it. Oh, and one other thing ... when you're telling that son story you've never told anyone else, and that mill worker thing ... from this point forward, your great grandpappy was a bruth-tha. Tell 'em Bill might have been the first white black President, but you've got as much in you as Obama.
When you poll high enough, I'll consider you for my VP, otherwise, I'm going with one of the other guys."

Mrs. Clinton: I know you will never entirely comprehend this, John, but you must believe I did not know it would be you. I served them. I fought for them. I'm on the point of winning for them the greatest foothold they would ever have in this country. And they paid me back by taking your soul away from you. I told them to build me an assassin. I wanted a killer from a world filled with killers and they chose you because they thought it would bind me closer to them.
[Puts her hands on John's face]
Mrs. Clinton: But now, we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me.
