1. Yeah, when it comes to art, he ain't no Hitler, that's for sure.

2. Who did he paint ? His portraits of 24 world leaders include Tony Blair, Putin and the Dalai Lama

“I hope they take it in the spirit in which these were painted—and that was the spirit of friendship, and that I admire them as leaders and was willing to give it a shot in terms of getting people to see how I felt about them.”

3. So did Hitler's

Do I win the Godwin award for this thread? Honestly, I'm not the type who looks for any excuse to leapfrog straight to Hitler, but, as Dog is my witless, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw that simpering fool on my teevee this morning, explaining his 'art.'

4. Yes, but that's neither here nor there

It's the whole trying to clean up the image of this monster by making him into the kindly dad, son, and pet lover. If they stuck a pipe in his mouth, he could be the second coming of Norman Rockwell, according to NBC.

Wish he'd paint a picture of the shoe coming at his face. That's the only one I'd be interested in.

6. Spot on. First they rehabbed Poppy, now him.

5. I like his new hobby better than his old one,

Starting unnecessary wars. . .

7. How long has he been doing it? Skills improve with practice.

After spending two years painting, former president George W. Bush says “a whole new world has opened up.”

12. He's come a long way with his painting.

I don't think I could be painting that well after 2 years

[malaise]

9. All they demonstrate is that he's a fucking narcissist

who still can't escape that man in the mirror.

To be kind - fuck that war criminal.

10. Dubya hasn't released his Abu Ghraib collection yet.

He ran out of red paint......

[Dr. Strange]

11. So, you're saying his paintings are...

Bush league?

13. His "Tree Of Life" Painting is the BOMB though!!! Have you seen it?

The apples look so wet and delicious, I may just pull an Eve.

14. The bomb? I think 'bombed' is the term.

I think he was drinking apple martinis when he painted that mess.
