In the shadows...of the Senate

Kathryn Lopez draws attention to the New York Times photo taken in the Senate yesterday (caption: "Day laborers from the Washington area gathered in the Senate to wait for the results of the immigration cloture vote"). Kathryn asks: "Do idiots run Washington?" I believe that the distinguished gentleman looking down from the portrait is none other than the original Grand Bargaineer himself: Henry Clay. If so, the photo is a classic in more ways than one.

There's a caption contest for the photo going on at the Forum, here.
