Well, that would explain one or two things.

Why in God's name is McCain's lower half of his face greenish? I'm too frightened to think of the possibilities.

Who has first dibs on the barf bag?

FLTNDBOAT@6: Apparently McCain.

Oh man, that's so perfect. I love the little bit of red on the mostly blue painting. It really draws your eyes, but the blue sets the perfect mood.

Amazing and disturbing.

Smudged lipstick. Mhmm.

I just had a great mental image of Palin doing the "Walk of Shame" wearing McCain's #1 Grandpa t-shirt, haha.

Anonymous,

You can click that little eyeball to tell us that there's a problem.

Hmm, no used condoms on the bedside table. That explains a lot.

Somethings make me wish I had been more focused in life, so that I could just ask, how much? Then commission two more pieces to complete a triptych, with the final panel leaving her in bed alone and a wad of cash on the table beside her. Goodbye, Sarah.

I may get disemvowelled for this observation, but it makes me sad that we are still resorting to this kind of "she musta slept her way to the top" innuendo about Sarah, simply because she's on the "wrong" side of the political aisle. However, I do like this artist, if I don't always agree with her messages.

"she musta slept her way to the top"

I didn't take it that way at all. I thought that it was two people who hooked up in the frenzy of the election and woke up saying, "What the hell was I thinking?" It's a metaphor. Politics makes strange bedfellows. Remember?

[#19 posted by sumi, November 8, 2008 7:06 PM]

I'm 100% with Antinous on that. As much as I found myself disliking her after the debate, "sleeping to the top" never entered my mind.

[#20 posted by FoetusNail, November 8, 2008 8:10 PM]

Absolutely, she let herself be used and abused, like a cheap desperate hooker.

[#21 posted by jso, November 8, 2008 10:26 PM]

"she musta slept her way to the top"



Because we all know she was qualified for the job, right? Right?



Honestly, I believe her looks were the reason she was selected as it appeals to the uninformed populist vote. And considering 64% of Republicans want her to run in 2012 I'd tend to think it worked too well. :P

Yeah, we didn't vote for you because you have a womb...

Now the lack of a brain has been a long standing presidential requirement.

from my reading they're Both unhappy about what choices they made in the heat of the moment. Zina really does have a knack for faces and expressions.

As Bertolt Brecht says at the end of the Hitler satire, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui:
Beware the bitch that bore the beast. She is in heat again.
