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.”

I would think the reality would be closer to fried eggs, hanging on a nail.

[Slings and Arrows]

Please excuse me. I need to find Lorena Bobbit and a Ginsu salesman.

In this case, having only one good eye may be a blessing.

[phantomworker]

Thanks, Millee. Too funny!

[BenLurkin]

Oh my !

[Darlin']

oh, PUKE! What a disgusting idea. Although, I must say he has captured some elements of the beast... for example: cold as stone, bloodless, colorless.

Also, I'm compelled to offer my impression of the artist impression of his subject... "Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, condescendng arrogance, a youthful vengeful spirit and a face matured by wisdom ravaged by years of hate and corruption.

[Slings and Arrows]

"IT'S A TRAP!"

[Charles Martel]

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

The museum should pair up Hillary with this very appropriate piece:

"Shrinkage, Jerry... there was *significant* shrinkage!!"

[Slings and Arrows]

When bad Shar-peis reincarnate.

"Thank you, welcome to the museum!

The admittance charge is $5.00 per person.

Thank you for the twenty, here is your change of $10.00, along with your two decorator barf bags.

There are restrooms throughout the facility, have a nice visit!"

She had one child. Not an exceptional amount of fertility. The artist must have been going for the virility angle.

[yoe]

Looks like a Fredrick's of Hollywood bra but the mustache...that is a mustache isn't it? More Clinton Déclassé – just no dignity or class.

[American Quilter]

Isn't the "artist" afraid he'll end up buried in a swamp somewhere? Hillary must be absolutely enraged! It couldn't happen to a more deserving woman.
