Groping 'president' sparks fury



AP in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Friday February 6, 2004


The photograph confronts anyone walking through the lobby of Lehigh University's humanities building: a man who could be President George Bush's identical twin smirks for the camera, his left hand touching a woman in a negligee.

The image, part of a satirical exhibit by photographer Larry Fink, has upset student conservatives who see it as evidence of a liberal bias on campus.

Fink said the woman in the lobby photograph, whose breast is cupped by the presidential lookalike, can be seen as a metaphor for the entire world.

"I think that would be appropriate for what we were doing in our foreign policy: groping without any good understanding of what we were doing and taking advantage of our imperious power," he said.



Looks like W took some lessons from Arnie? Where's Janet Jackson when you need her?
