Many of you will recall a horrid depiction of the Virgin Mary several years ago at a museum in Brooklyn. It was an image by an artist named Chris Ofili of a strange, unbecoming Madonna splattered with elephant dung.

Glad to hear it burned. Haven't heard of anyone crying about it.

I was thinking about this the other day when Clinton's portrait was unveiled at the White House.

Why didn't he elect to have the artist create an abstract rendition of himself splattered with elephant dung? He's all for this crap (pardon the pun), right?

Instead, he chose to have himself rendered in oil paint in a traditional, realist style.

I guess crappy abstract art is for the little people, and Christ's Mother.
