    Actually, his sister's, but might as well have been his. Real slice of life.

    On one hand, I feel bad that they had their privacy invaded; this is all really personal stuff. On the other hand, it's completely fascinating.

    "Self-Portrait in Bathtub" by G.W. Bush is truly something to behold.

    I do like how the private W matches his public image. Too incurious to paint anything more than what literally is in front of him.

    If only he'd been accepted into that art school in Vienna...

    What? That the American people were evil enough to elect that cretin into office not once, but twice? I agree. Very uncool.

    Oh. That's what gets your goat? To each their own, I suppose.

    Oh, I thought you meant the Hitler joke.

    I just think certain sorts of dick moves are dick moves irrespective of what we think of the people they're done to.

    Oh stop, no one's disagreeing with you.

    Me too, since it was in poor taste. But after years of hearing "Boosh is Hitler!" it's irresistible.

    He's not smart enough to be Hitler. Cheney, well that's a different story.

    I get a Palpatine vibe from him, to compliment W's Zapp Brannigan.

    Uncool. (TLDR for those that choose not to give this crap page hits, it's a cynical one-paragraph critique of the leaked paintings).

    There's tons of shit to argue against 8 years of Bush, but being cynical about his painting is bullshit. 99% of people don't even attempt to do what he's done, and those are even comparable to the quality of my first attempts at painting, and I'm someone that had some artistic training before even attempting to do so.

    That kind of shit spreading around makes potential artists think that they'll be crucified for their shitty first attempts and stop trying to get better. It's bullshit.

    And honestly, he did a pretty damn good job at the water, even paying attention to the fact that he needed subtle colors to define that his legs were under the water, and he even attempted fairly successfully to portray the splashing of the water coming out of the faucet.

    Fuck the haters, Bush, keep at it.

    Your mind works in mysterious ways. Mysterious, troubling ways that result in you taking a stand for people that don't need, want, or deserve your support over issues that don't matter. Aren't there any good fights that catch your eye?

    This is an extremely odd post, but in case it's a serious post, see here:

    Who cares? The portraits are funny, and the Hitler joke was funny, and the rest is funny just because it's so boring. This, right here, is more joy than the last decades's worth of "George W. Bush" "Invasion" and "Privacy" combinations have brought me. In fact, it's probably a good thing since now someone can straighten that poor woman out on having an aol account.

    Over the last few years it's become pretty clear that while Bush was an idiot, he wasn't a force of evil. Just a frat boy completely out of his depth, and badly served by the people he didn't know better than to hire. So my opinion of him has cooled from screaming anger to long, drawn-out sighs and resigned shrugs of the shoulders. I guess it's good he's painting now rather than destroying the world.

    Cheney, by contrast? That motherfucker was behind everything and is a completely unrepentant about the consequences of his actions. Virtually every war crime and scandal of the Bush administration can be directly traced to his decisions. I cannot even picture the scene if I met the guy.

    I don't want to hurt him, mind you, Secret Service internet scraping filter, I'd just be physically disabled and unable to move or talk because I'd be so enraged by his presence in this universe.

    That *is* a force of evil. That's exactly what a force of evil can look like. Cro-magnon values attached to an amazing level of thoughtlessness, all wrapped up in a man who actively sought a position that requires a high degree of thoughtfulness.

    I dunno, it's a bit like getting mad at a dog for biting a kid. It's a dog, what do you expect?
  24. Lhowon Hard Cider Gal

    For it not to bite the kid? Dogs can be trained.

    This is a weird thread.

    You're right... Bush had as much agency as a dog. By which I mean it's nothing at all like getting mad at a dog for biting a kid. One is a sentient being that can (if it chooses) understand cause and effect, future and past, moral obligations, and so on. The other is a cute fuzzy creature that received bad training.

    Do you think your ideas through before saying them?

    Dubbya's a better painter than he was a president. Maybe it's just that he doesn't have Cheney helping him this time.
