(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....

...Edwards inspiration for the piece was derived from actress Sharon Stones 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 dont think people will accept that. Its 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 artists 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's a WONDERFUL idea. As art this clearly was lacking something. Inspired by you and the famous art of Chris Ofili I offer this improved version to highbrow Freeper art lovers everywhere.
Well, no-one who hasn't had that "sexual power" throw a telephone at them.
Scary.
>> Can I bill JimRob??? <<
I was gonna ask Jim Robinson if it can't become the official capstone of the "UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" thread. :^D
Upon entering the museum you will be required to swallow 100 Viagra tablets and inhale three doses of nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Preliminary tests of 400 healthy men between the ages of 18 to 25, 98% reacted with nausea and vomiting upon viewing the bust. The other 2% fled from the scene.
which one?
:)
OMG - that's an abomination!

The only part I can make out in the picture is "Abandon All Hope, ..." ;-)
Just because that image will keep you from ever using it again doesn't mean you need to cut it off...
The 'looking over the heads of the peons' pose looks just like every portrait or statue I have seen of a Communist dictator.
Not to mention that the title of this article is a felony in several states... ;-)
If thine eye offends thee...
ping!
Daniel Edwards is the most generous person I know.
Heh-heh! I'll bet you're the only person to ever use the words "sternocleidomastoid" and "tits" in the same paragraph!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
ROTFLMBO!
