<--Presidential portrait constructed from porn mag clippings.
US Republicans are none too pleased with Brit artist Jonathan Yeo, who's just completed a fetching portrait of George Bush constructed from grumble mag clippings:
The work was unveiled yesterday at London's Lazarides gallery, which explains the motivation behind the thought-provoking piece: "Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush, but was later told his services were not required.

According to the Sun, Republicans have reacted with predictable indignation. A spokesman for Republicans Abroad International said: "This will cause outrage in America. Some people will think it’s funny - but personally I think it is a cheap stunt."

The answer is, as Yeo explained at the meisterwork's launch: "I did it for fun, not to offend, but I'm pleased with it. I did it to amuse." ®

Great picture of an idiot, drunken coward to stole the Oval Office twice. But as for Americans it's a reminder of how we fail our country by letting it happen.
There are enough pictures that show the Gerbil as an imbecile, when you are President you can't be that sensitive.
