(If you're thinking what you're thinking is just a joke; you might be horrified to know that any play on words in the original title is intentional.)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- New York, NY- July, 26 2006—- A presidential bust of Hillary Clinton is set to be unveiled at the Museum of Sex on August 9, 2006 at 10 am. Accentuating her sexual power and bolstered by the presidential seal, The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America will be officially open for public viewing on August 9 for a limited six week run.

Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom. Presented in a low cut gown, her cleavage is on display prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening.”...

Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom. Presented in a low cut gown, her cleavage is on display prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening.”...

...Edwards’ inspiration for the piece was derived from actress Sharon Stone’s controversial quote earlier in the year about challenges that would most likely be encountered should the Junior Senator from New York run on the ’08 ticket. “I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic,” Stone said. “But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.”

“Displaying a sculpture to encourage discourse about the sexual power debate surrounding the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency is very much in line with our mission as a museum,” noted Daniel Gluck, Executive Director. “We are wholly dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality. Historically, leaders are often expected to possess an exceptional amount of virility or fertility with displays of that sexual power often tied to their success. The artist’s portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a president who also happens to be a sexual being conveys the message that a woman need not squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.”

Someone at NR noted she looked like Jimmy Carter. I agree.

Yikes!

[Izzy Dunne]

This is frightening on SOOOO many levels...

[Senator_Blutarski]

Looks a lot like the Borg Queen from the Star Trek movies.

[b4its2late]

Jimmah Catah with boo bees!

[RexBeach]

The Museum of Sex? Hillary? Wow, the curator must be fun on a date!

[yellowdoghunter]

A museum of sex? Why on earth would we even need one of those? Any decent person would never allow their image to be placed in a place like that.

msnimje's reax at an accidental duplicate post:

EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!

Not sure I got the proper number of E's to conver the original horror.

[guitar4jesus]

That's downright scary!

[Millee]

Eewwwww...just hope it's not one of those interactive museums.

[Publius]

She'll never qualify for a job at Hooters.

[freedomson]

What a stone cold bee-atch.

[Red Badger]

The artist was a little overly generous...........

[dangus]

...In case some people couldn't understand how Hillary's husband could be turned on by a 2000-year old Aztec corpse.

[dynachrome]

That is just.......wrong!

[Red Badger]

Now you know where they got the idea.........

[timsbella]

Thought it was Peace Mother Sheehan following her "fast" but then realized the breasts were still located above the naval.

[TommyDale]

((( ping )))

Bill will like this interpretation of his wife. Know why?

No arms--she can't heave any "presidential" lamps at him.

"Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton 'with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom.'"
Ohhhh; is THAT what they now call facial wrinkles....? "a face matured by wisdom...."...? I think this has got to be one of the ugliest pieces of "art" I have ever seen...! No wonder "Slick Willie" strayed from the nest...

[RockinRight]

No Barf alert?

[KarlInOhio]

Each paragraph more barf producing than the last. The author ended where he did because he carefully matched the word count with the alimentary volume of the average adult male.

Now I have to do a little home electroshock therapy to make me forget that I ever saw that statue. < shudder! >

[RichInOC]

Fascinating. Mr. Edwards managed to sculpt a bust of Hillary Clinton that's even uglier than the real thing. Kudos.

[dirtboy]

She looks like a cross between Cindy Sheehan and the back end of a horse.

[dangus]

> No Barf alert?<<
Isn't it implicit? What part of "Hillary Clinton," "Presidential", "Bust", "Unveiled" and "Museum of Sex" did you not comprehend???

[meandog]

More like two small hen's eggs---FRIED!

[TommyDale]

Her display is titled "Untouched Wife"

[dangus]

>> I think this has got to be one of the ugliest pieces of "art" I have ever seen...! <<

So you agree it's a fantastic likeness?

[snowrip]

She looks like Jimmah Carter's long-lost alien brother.

BTW, you forgot to add "OVERWHELMING MEGA-BARFER" to your title.

[KarlInOhio]

No Barf alert?

Wasn't it implied in the words "Hillary Clinton’s ... Bust ... Sex"

Do you also need a "Do not pet the kitties!" sign at the tiger cage at the zoo?

[HungarianGypsy]

I actually thought of General Palpatine in the Star Wars movies.

[TomGuy]

She doesn't have anywhere near that much neck.


[Wanna bet who 'commissioned' that bust?]

[rhombus]

The artist’s portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a president who also happens to be a sexual being conveys the message that a woman need not squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.”

ESPECIALLY if you are a Clinton of any sex...and any sex is the key phrase here... ESPECIALLY if you are a Clinton.

[dangus]

If this doesn't deserve a "Caption This!" ping, I don't know what does.

[KarlInOhio]

Fascinating. Mr. Edwards managed to sculpt a bust of Hillary Clinton that's even uglier than the real thing. Kudos.

I've heard that a great scultor can get past the skin and expose the soul of his subject... which in Hillary's case is uglier than the skin.

[Thunderchief F-105]

...now, now......... let's not be so unfair to the back end of a horse..... in any cross between "Mother Sheehan" and a horse's hind quarters, the latter would only improve the looks of the former........!!

[npg]

Barf Alert is implicit

Arrrrrrgh - cognitive disconnect - world going dim.....

[reagan_fanatic]

This is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

People have nightmares over less than this.

[Triggerhippie]

I just threw up a little... gotta go brush my teeth...

[windsorknot]

If that thing is supposed to have some sort of sex appeal, then celibacy is looking a lot more attractive.

[RichInOC]

Ah. Excellent point.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

"Someone at NR noted she looked like Jimmy Carter. I agree."

Apart from the thighs, I don't see the resemblance.

[snowrip]

Hitlery as a sexual being? This guy needs to smoke another and put his glasses back on.

[dangus]

>>MEGA-BARF ALERT"

I'll repeat KarlinOhio's eloquence:

>> Do you also need a "Do not pet the kitties!" sign at the tiger cage at the zoo? <<

[Right_in_Virginia]

Oh, if I were Hitlery...I'd sue ;^D

[theDentist]

Looks like a leftover WWII sculpture depicting Aryan Womanhood!

[dangus]

ROTFL. The people in the university library are certainly wondering what on earth is up with me.
