Reply #23: So Much Shrub Creepiness to Go Around

[UTUSN]

It seems that a sculptor/painter, Richard SERRA, copied from Spaniard Francisco GOYA, substituting Shrub's face. GOYA's painting, "Saturn Devouring One of His Sons" was aimed at the repressive Spanish monarchy. Well, Robert NOVAK had a FIT on CNN Friday and again on Saturday.

DEMON ART

A SHOCKING image of a blood-spattered President Bush devouring a headless child is causing an uproar. The drawing by sculptor Richard Serra, based on a painting by Goya, is being used to promote pleasevote.com, billed as "a call to vote the Bush administration out of office." It appears on the back cover of The Nation's July 5 issue. Ironically, Serra, a past recipient of NEA grants, was once praised by First Lady Laura Bush in a White House press release about one of his pieces at a Texas museum. His "Tilted Arc" once graced (or defaced) Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan until it was destroyed in 1989. Pundit Andrew Sullivan labeled the Bush image "an obscenity" and "simple demonization."
