Okay, so maybe my idea of having some guy in South Africa do this week’s ScuttleButton in sign language didn’t pan out. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t solve the puzzle.
How to Play
ScuttleButton, as you may know, is that weekly waste of time exercise where we post a vertical sequence of campaign buttons. Your job is to take one word (or concept) per button and add ’em up to arrive at a famous name or familiar expression. Guess the correct phrase and you could be the proud winner of the coveted Political Junkie button!
Good luck!
