Florida Art Director Fired After TV Discussion of Graphic Work on Bush

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBTGPU6HBE.html

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - An art gallery director says she was fired for talking on television about a sexually explicit caricature involving President Bush, an Arab sheik and a barrel of oil.

Susan Buzzi was the Broward Art Guild's executive director and had worked with its gallery for more than 10 years.

Buzzi and Alfred Phillips, who painted the piece, were among several people interviewed by comedian Ed Helms in a spoof news report of the art controversy on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" several weeks ago.

Buzzi said she was told Wednesday that her "services are no longer required" at the gallery.

All I can say is it must have been a doozy.

2. Go to the Daily Show's archives, They've got a report.
I'm sorry I don't know the URL, but I saw it on the show last week. Very comic book. The Museum curator was fired for appearing on the TV show.

4. here's one on display in the cafeteria of the state Department of Justice


Sacramento -- A painting of the United States sinking into a toilet now on display in the cafeteria of the state Department of Justice has raised the ire of the state Republican Party, which is demanding that Attorney General Bill Lockyer remove the image.
