Size doesn't matter, it only matter how you're hung, Bill.
I don't know what to say except thanx for your support, beyond the sea. :)
thank you :)
;)
two double entendres in one sentence bump
;)
great imagery, BTW.
I LOVE the portrait!! It's soooooooooooooooo Clinton.
Check it out, Nelson Shanks
http://www.nelsonshanks.com/index.htm
has painted many of the world's movers and shakers, so no wonder Clinton wanted to be in that number.Clinton just didn't know Shanks would paint exactly what he saw, a no class, rakish con man, still on the take, still on the make. (I think he's holding his jacket open for easy access to his pants zipper!)
I bet Shanks was recommended by Beth Dozoretz. She's in the Shanks gallery too, in what looks like an..after the White House party stupor..

excellent take!
I had noticed the Beth Dozoretz portrait at Shanks' website. That should have provided a clue for clinton. ;)
One of our local radio hosts said he objected to tongue piercing and was called on it by a liberal because he compared it Clinton's 'zipper'
Something of the emperors new clothes seems to surround every circumstance of this mans life.
Appropriately, he was (self) anointed as the standard bearer of a generation of leftists whose highest value was that the ends justifies their means.
No one of substance was going to run against G.W. Bush in his second term election because a) only a year before the election he had a 70% approval rating; and b) as things developed Bush would have been unbeatable in a fair fight by anyone even after his poll numbers dropped, and it was only the interference of Ross Perot, that allowed a plurality of the misled and uninformed to eject Bush from a second term after a lackluster campaign on his part.
Into this void, characteristically audaciously, and effectively unchallenged, strode, Clinton the ambitious unprincipled narcissist with his psuedo-conscience and theorist, Hillary, plotting strategy, Dr Strangelovelike... Thus, by default, he, Bill, became at a critical time the leader of the baby boom left which gravitated to excused and rejoiced in his "pragmatism". In the first instance of discovery of this ill considered selection, howver, the CBS propaganda machine, had to help the Clintons escape and evade Jennifer Flowers harbinger melody of truth that character is future. Subsequent events proved Jennifer, not CBS, had the better insight.
At each progressively disgusting revelation since,. Paula, Monica, Kathleen, and Anita, amoung (many) others, the left squirmed uncomforatably yet quickly reacted with an unwavering calculus that if their standard bearer falls, their plurality hedgmony, facilitated on leftist media/university agenda controlling predominance, will fall with him. An ultimate sense of self-survival then, is the driving force behind the increasingly tragi-comic legacy management of Clintons role in American history.
From the corruptly stacked deck of the 9/11 Commission, with the quilty judging the innocent, to the left's visceral antipathy to allowing Bush Jr. to be successful at anything, one senses the left is desperate for Clinton to have a heart attack or otherwise fade away before his next round of outspoken revelations triggers the inevitable and unstoppable flood of ridicule and antipathy that Clinton, and they, deserve.
Desperation amoung the left is at an apex because they know they have two and a half years in which to keep the lid on the reality of Bill Clintons character and executive failures, while trying to leverage/manage/manipulate the ascension of H.R Clinton to the white house in, what this generation of the left obviously believes, may be its last best hope to recover and weild the levers of power in fullfilment of their collective adolescent fantasies of superiority and absolute power. (Not to mention that HRC herself, is uniquely unqualified for political leadership in a free country).
Ultimately, the truth about Bill Clinton is that he doesnt matter. Whether America recovers from his failures and omissions as a President, are a matter of the choices subsequently made by the nations citizens and elected representatives. Clearly the world would have been far better off if Bush Sr. had served out a second term, but in the end, Clintons legacy consists entirely of mistakes, omissions and transgressions so numerous and so distasteful, no one is really interested in trying to build a complete catalogue. He continues to have an army of defenders and apologists only because the baby boom left knows that his fraud is their fraud, that his corruption is their corruption and that his infinite emptiness is linked, not merely by association, but by a profound inner nature and common cause, with their own original and continuing sin, that of being confirmed worshipers in the church of envy, to which all collectivists devotedly ascribe due to their well taken sense of inferiority, inadequacy and perversion. They chose their leader far more for this essential moral and psychic self identification than they could have realized.
America's left, particularly its leftist media, like their leader Clinton, has grown more and more transparent in its unprincipled quest for power at any cost and focus on damaging its opponents irrespective of consequences. One senses the day is coming, as it did in the Soviet Union Cold War, when this political wall of tyranny will fall as well.
Very insightful, as usual. Thanx. :)

You are so right.This portrait, in the end, mirrors clinton precisely.
It succeeds precisely because and how it fails.
if you really look at the size of the presidents' portraits, there are [sic] an inverse relationship to their importance to the country and American history.
Then I'm guessing that Clinton's portrait must be huge.
It is. I think it's about 8.5 ft, which is almost--but not quite--sufficient to contain his inflated view of himself. ;)
It was very perceptive of you. Olé. ;)
