FAITH UNDER FIRE 'Saint Bill Clinton' ignites religious rage Artist uses ex-president's 'holy' image to market T-shirts, lunchboxes
By Joe Kovacs © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com
While Americans have a wide range of views regarding former President Bill Clinton, a Kentucky artist's depiction of the former commander in chief as God himself or a Catholic-style saint is raising those opinions to passionate levels across the nation.
The portrait, titled "Saint Clinton," is the creation of Scott Ritcher, a 34-year-old graphic designer who is now marketing T-shirts, posters, magnets, coffee cups, coasters and even lunchboxes with the picture reminiscent of the "Sacred Heart of Jesus" images.
"It was one of those creative moments where you're just like, 'Oh, wouldn't this be funny,'" Ritcher told WLKY-TV in Louisville. "It's intended to amuse and entertain people. It's not intended to offend anybody."
But offend people it has, as a local Catholic school has already banned the artwork from its campus.

I wonder how the Left would react if I depicted George W. Bush as a saint? I'm sure it'd be roundly condemned by a lot of "nonpartisan" (sic!) Leftist churches across America.

How can they say things like this with a straight face?

Among the [to be] marketed relics of St. Bill will be sealed glass containers with the fragments of THE TRUE BLUE DRESS.
Sickening!

Funny thing is that Billy probably sees himself this way.
Ah, so that makes it the sacred wiener of Willie....
I have to admit, I think it's pretty damn funny. And I claim to be a Christian, too. I must be a heretic or something. :)
I like it. Gender gappers all over the country should be wearing this with great pride.

The link to the article is where I grabbed the title initially posted. Will be more careful in the future.
Well, we already know how they react when you tell them the truth about the Clinton's...
Sick indeed!
San Billus Clintonus, patronus san prostitutinorum, ora pro nobis.
Our parish priest has banned any copy of this pic from the school, the church, the rectory, and urged the parish in general to shun the papr that put it out.
Fire and Brimstone at Mass - it was satisfying.
But as to William the Impeached as a devotional: Blasphemy.
Most offensive? Imagine how a Sa'ami traditionist feels with the man who is the very image of "Reindeer Man" being portrayed with a Jesus picture?!
Cack... (sound of hairball)
