Maybe I’ve missed something, but it appears not a single Republican hypocrite has been exposed today. What’s the world coming to? Perhaps it’s the calm before another storm. Ah well, it’s probably be best if the next person to crash and burn waits until after the holiday.
There’s really not much grist for the mill, and I’m not interested in repeating myself, so I’ll confine myself to passing this along:
British artist Jonathan Yeo had every reason to be offended. The Bush Library in Texas had yet again rescinded a commission it had given him to paint a portrait of United States President George W. Bush. In the end, though, the artist decided to go ahead with his artistic portrayal of the 43rd president, even if he wasn’t getting paid for it — and created a portrait of Bush using a collage of pornographic images.
According to Yeo, he did the picture for fun. The article, from Der Spiegel, says that the overseas Republicans are offended that an artist would choose to depict a war criminal and sociopath in such a way. Here’s the picture (click to enlarge).
It actually takes a bit of work to discern the pornographic images. It’s far easier to perceive the obscenity depicted by the sum of those parts.
