FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- New York, NY- July, 26 2006—- A presidential bust of Hillary Clinton is set to be unveiled at the Museum of Sex on August 9, 2006 at 10 am. Accentuating her sexual power and bolstered by the presidential seal, The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America will be officially open for public viewing on August 9 for a limited six week run. Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom. Presented in a low cut gown, her cleavage is on display prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening.”

[SammyBlue]

34. Under Roberts rules, the motion has been forwarded and seconded

Indeed. :wtf:

[swag]

3. Ample bosom, n'est-ce pas?

I blame Camille Paglia for this.

[SammyBlue]

35. Yeah. . .I don't think Hillary has implants.

Was the artist having full wood making this?

Clinton looks like she has DDs in that piece. Jesus!

[berni_mccoy]

4. !WTF!

:wtf:

[atomic-fly]

5. dang...is this a Rove trick...

[Joanne98]

6. OH! That's horrible. At least take the bra off. It looks cheesy.

[Nimrod2005]

18. Agree, looks like an old grandma...Nipples are powerful...

[Joanne98]

21. Without a bra at least it would look classical......

Ancient Greek/ But the bra makes it look, well? LIKE A BRA COMMERCIAL! Yuk.

[Arkansas Granny]

32. I believe that is supposed to be a low cut evening gown.

Looks like an 18 hour bra to me!

[formercia]

26. A couple of perky nipples would do wonders.

:evilgrin:

[mike_c]

7. some people clearly have...

...way too much time on their hands....

[Ezlivin]

8. Boxing Hillary

Is this a sequel to "Boxing Helena"?

I imagine that losing most of your body is pretty "slimming".

[Richard Steele]

9. Boy, you summed that up well. WTF?? indeed.

That thing deserves a place next to the "Brittney Spears giving birth doggystyle" sculpture:
in a nice landfill.

[El Supremo]

10. Not very flattering.

[enid602]

11. kiss my grits

I thought that was 'Flo' from the highly successful TV series 'Alice' of the 1970's.

[Skinner]

12. This is the same guy who did Britney Spears "Monument to Pro-Life"

(Note: Apparently this artist likes irony.)

[Chiyo-chichi]

28. Yes, it is.

Olbermann had him on to talk about the Britney sculpture. He is quite a flake, if that's not already obvious.

[Arkansas Granny]

31. Well, my first thought when I saw Hilary's bust was that it was

just as "attractive" as the one done of Britney giving birth. I didn't realize then that it was the same guy. Can't say I care much for it.

[marmar]

13. You called it...

A double WTF here. :wtf: :wtf: And I thought the Sexmuseum in Amsterdam was silly? At least they stick to the sleaze, and not utter silliness.

[niyad]

14. it's too early in the day to have the requisite number of drinks that

would make this make any sense at all.

[HughBeaumont]

15. Looks more like Phyllis Schlafly

It's like a horror movie in clay . ..

[Demit]

16. Daniel Edwards. Guy who did the gag-me sculpture of Brittany Spears.

Uggo.

[Clark2008]

17. Says who?

And it looks more like it has a presidential sized bust than BEING a presidential bust.

[sui generis]

19. I can't believe he paid so much attention to the boops

and forgot ze arms.

[MindPilot]

20. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's not president yet, is she?

No matter how bad Bartcop wants her to be... :D

And if that represents female sexual power call the Reverend Phelps because I'm about to turn...

edit spelling and this comment from Wonkette's page is equally disturbing:

these comments are perfect examples of exactly the type of Hillary-bashing this bust was meant to undermine .

sure she looks firece and haggard at times, wrangling on the senate floor and pounding the fundraising circuit...

but try to imagine her on the couch in her Juicy pjs with a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough settling in to watch desperate housewives while Billy gives her a foot-rub? there's something domestic and appealing about a powerful woman when she lets her hair down. deep down inside there's hiding a brainy little oversexed law student just dying for some love and affection.

or she's the devil. who knows? damn you museum of sex, i'm so confused!

33. I understand that Britney didn't actually give birth in the position

that he portrayed, either. She had a C-section.

[Deb]

22. I doubt the artist has ever met Sen Clinton

This piece doesn't "capture" her at all. Maybe he just hates women in general?

[MindPilot]

24. He probably never met Brittany either n/t

[Finder]

23. I like it...

but then I like the B Spears sculpture too.lol

I think both are empowering to women as far as art goes.

[meisje]

25. Those are fake!

[yy4me]

27. Is this a joke? it is in poor taste, regardless of what you think

of her stand on issues. It is most unattractive. She must think its awful!

[kpete]

29. I think we need Ascroft to go to the Museum

and demand that it be appropriately draped!

[Freedom_Aflaim]

30. Looks like that long Necked Jedi Dude - Yarael Poof

In Star Wars Ep 2 & 3

[dipsydoodle]

36. Not exactly first and second prize

in the melon competiton but quite passable me thinks.

[OneBlueSky]

37. looks like Venus de Milo on a REALLY bad hair day . . . n/t

.

[rman]

38. Yes, that's what people care about; the sexual power of

porn stars politicians.

[jollyreaper2112]

39. gaah!!!

LE BLECH! What did they do to her?

[lectrobyte]

40. As Beavis used to say, "I have a special feeling..." Great sculpture!
