A ScuttleButton puzzle with three buttons.

I admit it.

I lied at last month's Blagojevich impeachment trial.

I promised I would never use a Burris campaign item in a ScuttleButton puzzle. This week, I broke that promise.

It's too late for you to be a character witness for me. But it's not too late to enter this week's contest. Simply take one word (or concept) per button, add 'em up, and whaddaya get? (The solution does not necessarily have to be political, but it could be.)

A correct answer chosen at random gets his or her name in this column. You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer. Send submission (plus your name and city/state — you won't win without that) to politicaljunkie@npr.org.

Note: This will be an occasionally recurring feature on the Political Junkie blog. Here's the answer to last week's puzzle.

And, by adding your name to the Political Junkie mailing list, you will be the first on your block to receive notice when a new puzzle goes up on the blog. Sign up at politicaljunkie@npr.org. Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new Junkie post goes up by clicking here.
