NEW YORK - According to a major New York City newspaper yesterday, a new attempt to discredit the President is underway. Photographer Larry Fink has produced an exhibit titled "The Forbidden Pictures - of George W. Bush". The pictures were taken with a George W. Bush look alike and demonstrate him partying and groping women in sexually explicit ways.

Fink, who was originally commissioned on this project by the New York Times, says that the groping of the woman in the photos is a "metaphor for foreign policy".

According to Fink, "'The Forbidden Pictures' remind us that after a war based on deception, the tearing away of our civil rights and the atmosphere of unprecedented secrecy surrounding the White House, it's no longer liberal hysteria to say that we're living under the governance of what can reasonably be said is an Imperial presidency."

I see, yet the Republicans are the hateful ones, hmm?

[mlbford2]

This has been around for awhile. The photograph was displayed in the entrance of Boston College I think (wherever Bill O'reilly went to school).

Can you imagine the outrage had someone simply hired a Clinton "look alike" to do some groping? On second thought, hiring a look alike wasn't necessary.

[NavySEAL F-16]

Disgusting. How low will the NYT sink?

PHOTOGRAPHER PORTRAYS BUSH GROPING WOMAN

The left is so predictable. Clinton became known for his lies, so they have to try and make Bush into a liar. Clinton also became known for his womanizing and groping, so they have to try to make Bush into a groper.

The difference is, one they can't seem to grasp, is that the continual questioning of Clinton's morality by conservatives was based on facts and borne out by events, whereas their claims about Bush are false and are being refuted by subsequent events. But instead of backing off, it just makes them try harder and harder, which is why they have entered the land of the absurd.

It is unbelievable to me the lengths to which this scum will go.

Please pray for the future of our country.

[January24th]

Oh, that liberal media.

[newsgatherer]

bump for tuesday update.

[Always Right]

This photographer is on his way to win all kinds of awards for his phoney pictures. The guy will be hailed as a genius for coming up with such a creative new way to make Bush look bad.

[Ciexyz]

pigs pigs pigs!

[Callahan]

In the confused mind of the liberal artist, a picture of a fake GWB groping a woman is a metaphor for pro-American foreign policy. A picture Bill Clinton groping a woman is a metaphor for Clinton groping a woman

[Gefreiter]

How about a pic of Ted Kennedy and John Kerry in a 69? It would just be a metaphor for Kerry's flip-floppery.

[Guillermo]

But we had pictures of the Actual Bubba groping women, and it was dismissed as his "personal sex life."

Why did you not post the first line?

Let these Bolsheviks just keep it up and the Democrats are going to be standing in their own unemployment line come January.

[Libertina]

The NYT newspaper commissioned a man to publish fake staged pictures using a look-alike about the president??? I say LAWSUIT TIME! Anyway. aren't they supposed to be reporting the news? NOT making it up!

[Eva]

I think that this is an old exhibit that was displayed at Lehigh University, during the 2000 election period. If it's a new one, then someone just copied the idea.

[dead]

This story is at least a year old, if not two.

Here’s his “art”:

Somewhat less lasting and inspiring than Michelangelo's David, or even Andy Warhol’s stupid Campbell’s Soup Can.

(and the guy looks nothing like Bush)

[sheik yerbouty]

It's a fabrication, but the 'rats seem proud to watch the two johns in their grabastic escapades on camera..

Happy 35th aniversary of Ted Kennedy driving his Olds off a bridge!

[keat]

At least the chick is hot.

[hometoroost]

He looks more like Trent Lott than George Bush.

[Revolting cat!]

Nothing to get excited about, after all it's just about sex!

[keysguy]

Let's see...if you are a rat and you are real, real desperate.......

[Incorrigible]

Here's the real groper!

[Truth29]

Sometimes I think that conservatives should fulfill the fantasy fears of the socialist left - how about a black limo full of internal security types picking up the photographer at midnight and disappearing him.

[McGavin999]

This needs to stop, this is totally disgusting. What kind of country has this become that crap like this is allowed. The media (laugh) should do what they're supposed to do and expose this crap for the lunacy that it is.

[Inspectorette]

Well, Gloria Steinem said Clinton was entitled to "one free grope". Wonder if that same standard would apply to President Bush, if this were for real (amazing the lengths they'll go to in making things up).

[headsonpikes]

The aptly named Larry Fink is just bitter because Ol' Lumpy Riefenstahl gets all the girls!

[EternalVigilance]

Joseph Goebbels chortles from hell...

[FrankR]

This...is old news. I saw a bit about this on TV months ago, when the pictures were posted at some college - forget which one now.

This stunt will backfire simply because it's a "look-alike". It is the fake who is groping the woman, not Bush. I saw the picture, and while the guy looks a little like Bush, it is clearly not him.

It's a college stunt. It's grafitti on the locker room wall...

It is liberals in the throes of desparation.

>>how about a black limo full of internal security types picking up the photographer at midnight and disappearing him.<<

How about just a bunch of bad-ass freepers doing the same thing. I'm in. Anyone else?

(Not to be taken seriously, obviously).

[gimme1ibertee]

LOLOLOL!!!! I'd like to see that!!....
Oh...on second thought.....never mind...(barf)

[vaudine]

No!No! Please do not insult pigs.

"Well, Gloria Steinem said Clinton was entitled to "one free grope".
Yeah,and the aging ol' witch probably hoped she would be on the receiving end of said free grope...

[Spok]

This whole project is a metaphor for the liberal's desperation to beat GWB with lies, since they know the truth just won't cut it.

[deport]

Not new... but resurfacing...

The powerHouse Gallery

Originally set to run in The New York Times Magazine in the Fall of 2001, the tragic events of September 11 and the ensuing media self-censorship created an environment where Fink’s critical images of the president and his men were deemed unpublishable.........

“The Forbidden Pictures: A Political Tableau” will be on exhibit at The powerHouse Gallery during the Republican National Convention, August 30–September 2, at Madison Square Garden, New York.

[shhrubbery!]

the pictures were posted at some college - forget which one now

It was Lehigh University -- maybe Boston College too, I don't know.

Thread from Front Page Mag's article on the topic a few months ago: Lehigh Univesity and the "Art" of Bush Bashing

[woody9]

According to the American Society of Media Photographers (asmp.org)web site under "find a photographer"
a someone named larry fink is listed at lfink@ptdprolog.com.
(May or may not be the same guy, and I made no attempt to find out)

[Legion04]

pretty lame and unskilled amateur attempt at photoshop if you ask me. AWARDS??????? what are they smoking? I was better at photoshop the day I first tried it.

[GVnana]

Fink, who was originally commissioned on this project by the New York Times

Says it all.

[Tacis]

The crapweasels have tried to reissue these fakes pictures to try to counter some of the really, really terrible public response to all the pictures of Kerry groping and fondling Edwards. The elitist dems, many of whom are actually tinkerbells, themselves, didn't realize how offensive the Kerry-fondling-Edawrds pictures would be to normal people.

[mass55th]

Typical leftist. Has to use a phoney George W. Bush for a phoney scenario. Only shows me what a phoney Fink is. He must be Michael Moore's butt boy.

Here is a link to the gallery page:

Powerhouse

According the this web page, the collection was originally displayed at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, which interestingly enough is a recepient of Heinz funds.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of Tuhrayza's money hasn't gone to this gallery as well.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Fink’s critical images of the president and his men were deemed unpublishable........."

First of all, these aren't images of Bush; secondly, how can the images be "critical" of Bush if (1) it isn't Bush and (2) the person in the images is doing things no one has accused Bush of doing?

[Eva]

I remember that there was a lot of complaints about the school displaying the pictures in the library or lobby. I am sure the Theresa had something to do with reviving the pictures, too.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Just curious...how is this not slander from a strictly legal perspective? I'm sure that there's probably some "fair-use" perspective or some other legal loophole plus slander would require GWB to file an action which I'm sure he won't do... but still.

[Steve_Seattle]

"The NYT newspaper commissioned a man to publish fake staged pictures using a look-alike about the president???"

But we all know there's no liberal bias in the media, right? lol Even more incredible, these photos are now being touted as the "forbidden" photographs, as if (1) they are real photographs of the president and (2) the White House was trying to suppress them, to suppress the "truth." The liberal anti-Bush psychosis is now so far advanced that it needs to rely on fabricating a story-line about the "suppression" of fake photos. Absolutely, totally weird.
