Rumsfeld Painting Expected to Be a Hit in Baghdad (http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20060607041109990001&ncid=NWS00010000000001)

How dare the dirty brown-skins call our beloved Secretary of Defense soulless and arrogant! How ungrateful of these primitive savages after we loosed them from the tyrannical yoke of Saddam Hussein and brought them freedom and democracy! Maybe they do hate our freedoms after all! Instead of showering us with rose petals like they ought to have been doing they try to kill our troops and now THIS!!

I wonder if I can buy a print of that from the artist. I would very much like one.

Does he do internationale shipping?

Of course they hate freedom, they are heartless and evil terrorists. Only America stands in the way of their campaign to immerse the world in fear and destroy Christianity. The best way to fight these horrible freedom-haters is to unequivocally ban gay marriage by amending the constitution itself. Thank God for George Bush and freedom!

He's the new Monet!

He's the new Monet!

Eh?

Which period?

Eh?

Which period?

Blue period?


P.S. I know that expression does not apply to Monet. Go with the word pun, okay?

Another Anti-American artist who thinks our leaders actually represent us. Maybe he should listen to Congress before he calls us all arrogant and what-not. He can paint that, but don't use it to bash America, numbnuts, no one in the government does what they say they will do, so don't blame us if they do something you don't like. You can have an opinion, but please inform yourself first. Actually, I'm surprised Washington did send forces to Iraq, because they rarely do anything.

The funny thing is, I'm a conservative.

Freedom: this is exactly why this painting can exist. Freedom of expression is a major concept dear to the USA, a concept even Iraqis have a right to, is it not? I don't know if they hate it, but they're using it.

Dude. SARCASM.

Oops! :headbang:

It's stories like this that restore my faith in humanity. None of this blowing people up to make a point, just bad art.

Just think how much more fun the cold war would have been if instead of an arms race we'd had a series of paintings showing the worlds leaders in more and more outrageous footwear.

Think about it, instead of polaris, Britain could have just commisioned someone to paint a Russian leader in ballet shoes or someting and then been like 'take that you evil commies you.....hahaha, we pwned the cold war bitches!!11!!'

Dude. SARCASM.
I do wish that people who use sarcasm would make use of this friendly fellow: :rolleyes:

This is poor enough to be a project funded by the NEA. And hung in a government office building. If it had only been sculpture, it could have joined the god-awful ugly pieces that already adorn the outside of goverment buildings.

What a douche. Not even that talented a painter.

We got a lot more laughs out of those cartoons than they'll ever get out of that painting.
