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.”

That ain't Venus de Milo!! Check out those wrinkles and bags -- didn't think the Heinous Harridan could look any worse! There should be a "Do Not Look Because You Might Go Blind" alert put on this one!

>> Well...there went my sex drive. <<

Like you didn't think mine did? Didn't you hear the screeching wheels or see the cloud of smoke as it drove away?

A better likeness:

[Pyro7480]

It looks like a female Gollum.

[Mr. Silverback]

You know, the sad thing is that pic is not any uglier than the bust.

[DoctorMichael]

Its also kinda penis-like in its proportions and shape. Maybe this is the subliminal-side of the "sexual power' comment.

[freedomlover]

I used to just think about baseball . . . but this will make it a cinch . . . maybe too much of a cinch.

[My2Cents]

(In reference to the Oval Office) -- "My precious."

>> I used to just think about baseball <<

It's still horsehide

[Mr. Silverback]

Taking a moment to purchase Pepto-Bismol stock, first?

Yep. If I can figure out a way to get this bust onto the front pages and the nightly newscasts, I'll be a very wealthy man.

[freedomlover]

What a waste of perfectly good roadside ditch riprap.

[Mr. Silverback]

Don Knotts is going to haunt you now.

If I had a "chance" at the real life version and was offered
A. Viagra or B. Cialis to accomplish the task, I 'd ask for an alternative: C. Lethal injection.

Beauty is skin deep, but ugly is to the ... stone.

Ditto that.
A very wise choice indeed.

You won't even be able to...er, begin, much less have to worry about finishing too soon!

Take me off your ping list, please.
