July 2, 2004 -- A SHOCKING image of a blood-spattered President Bush devouring a headless child is causing an uproar. The drawing by sculptor Richard Serra, based on a painting by Goya, is being used to promote pleasevote.com, billed as "a call to vote the Bush administration out of office." It appears on the back cover of The Nation's July 5 issue. Ironically, Serra, a past recipient of NEA grants, was once praised by First Lady Laura Bush in a White House press release about one of his pieces at a Texas museum. His "Tilted Arc" once graced (or defaced) Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan until it was destroyed in 1989. Pundit Andrew Sullivan labeled the Bush image "an obscenity" and "simple demonization."

This is simply a photoshopped (badly) hack-up of Goya's "Saturn Devouring One Of His Children":
Now, did it really take any serious "art" talent just to slap Bush's head over Saturn's?

Even by the standards of liberal propaganda art, this is lousy, a simple cut and paste job that would have taken him two minutes. On the other hand, one of the coolest art installations I've ever seen was Serra's "Torqued Ellipses" a few years ago.

Here we have what Democrats offer America. No policies, no leadership, just lots of photoshopped hatred. I'm sure this makes Mr. Moore happy.
