Where is the outrage
-ous laughter over Bush's "powdered wig" portrait on Time's Person of the Year Cover?

2. I wondered why it wasn't a photograph.
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 11:27 PM by NYC
He looks so ugly in all photographs. I suspect that is why this is artwork rather than a photograph.

I hadn't caught the powdered wig aspect, but did notice how white the hair was. Also, note how smooth the skin is compared to the real "thing".

Also, maybe this was the only way to suppress the omnipresent smirk.

6. yeah the hair's reeeeaally white, but
look at the 'do... it's somewhat feminine looking and puffy like the big wig days. I'm surprised they didn't paint in a big braid and ribbons.

3. Bigger question: Where are the photoshops?
I'm waiting for some funny take-offs of that gruesome paint-by-numbers likeness, hope someone knows where to find them!

Truly hideous.

7. also I thought that might be where they were going with the
"American Revolutionary" tag line on the lower right. Too funny.

8. American Revolutionary??!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
OMG someone is seriously trying to push the "Bush as Founding Father" meme.

That's a horrid "portrait", but even THAT picture manages to capture his teeny little weasely eyes.

12. Is it his official portrait that is to hang in the White House?
If it is, they need to have a redo, ICK! If not, I wonder who painted it and why.

BTW-The hair is the same color as mine- White! LOL!

14. Is that piece of shiteating filth really Man of the Year?
Fuck Time Magazine, unless they put him there along with the truth, like they did the Ayatollah - not that he was great, but that his evil had a great affect on everything.

If they said one good word about that krill-brained piece of shit I'll never buy or touch that magazine again.
