Nude President Bush Painting Pulled From Museum !!!
WASHINGTON -- A nude painting of President George W. Bush is a little too funky for the "Funky Furniture" exhibit.
The City Museum of Washington had scheduled a "living room art" exhibition called "Funky Furniture." A cartoonish painting, called "Man of Leisure, King George," showed a nude President George W. Bush reclining on a couch with his head propped up by pillows. It's a take-off on Manet's Impressionist masterpiece, "Olympia."
Instead of the female servant who stands behind Olympia's couch, a man in suit and tie resembling Vice President Dick Cheney stands nearby, holding a cushion with a crown and a miniature oil rig on top of it.
In addition to the Bush painting, the exhibit included a decorated church pew with pictures and writing that accused former President Reagan of ignoring the AIDS crisis and an end table decorated with drug paraphernalia with a quote from former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, who was jailed for drug possession.
But museum officials have pulled the plug on the entire exhibition. They said theirs is a history not an art museum.
One member of the museum board told the Washington Post they thought the exhibit was going to be about furniture.
So who will post that pic of "George and Dick " naked ????
