No, They Haven't Forgotten About Dubya, Either

At least this time the Secret Service actually raided the gallery at Columbia College in Chicago, where this "art" was on exhibit.

The curator, Michael Hernandez de Luna, expressed profound fear - not at the "portrait" above, but at the Secret Service raid:

"It starts questioning all rights, not only my rights or the artists' rights in this room, but questioning the rights of any artist who creates — any writer, any visual artist, any performance artist. It seems like we're being watched."

Well, no bleep, Mikey. Maybe if you wouldn't cater and pander to the "pro-assassination Left," you wouldn't attract the attention of the Men in Black.

I'm telling you, if, God forbid, somebody in the DisLoyal Opposition takes a crack at it for real and pulls it off (no need to elaborate on what "it" means), the reaction of his/her fellows will be as instructive then as the years of escalatingly hate-filled invective that served as its prelude.
