Sam Seder discussed the "Bush Monkey" Painting.......
Tonight on AAR's "The Majority Report", Host Sam Seder was discussing the controversial Painting by Chris Savido.

Here is the quote from a Reuters Article:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A portrait of President George W. Bush using monkeys to form his image has led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests over freedom of expression.

"Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show that was scheduled to stay up for the next month.

I am wondering what country these folks think they are living in? Do you think Chris will get a National Endowment?? I think he should get recognized for a nice piece of work.
