Bruce Elliot hung a nude portrait of his daughter in his Chicago bar. To cover his actions, he painted the face of Sarah Palin on the nude and added some Alaskan props. Surveying the completed work, which has all the aethestic qualities of a cheap paint-by-the-numbers set, he declared it “bizarrely fascinating.”
Despite their political differences, Elliott admits to a bit of a crush on the Alaska governor. He began painting her smile and trademark glasses, he said, before filling in the details: a gun, red high heels, polar bear rug, rugged Alaska landscape and a scared moose. His daughter, who looks a little like Palin and does a great impression of her, served as model for the governor’s body.
No doubt this will boost his beer sales, perhaps earn a few extra votes for McCain, and probably increase the number of people asking Elliot’s daughter for a date.
The online poll that accompanies the news report indicates that 35% of readers do not find Elliot’s actions offensive, which proves that feminism is an abject failure and calling something art can excuse any moral depravity. Tastelessness, of course, endures all things.
