Sarah Palin nude painting
Chicago Tribune ^ | 6/14/09 | Emma Graves Fitzsimmons

Bruce Elliott has painted a nude portrait of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and hung it above the Old Town Ale House, where it's now a prime attraction among his display of more than 200 celebrity portraits and other racy art.

Elliott's wife, Tobin Mitchen, owns the bar on Chicago's North Side,

Palin became Elliott's muse after he saw her on TV.

"I've been following her religiously," he said Monday at the bar. "I had never heard of her before, like everyone else. I find her bizarrely fascinating, even though I pretty much despise everything she stands for."

Despite their political differences, Elliott admits to a bit of a crush on the Alaska governor. He began painting her smile and trademark glasses, he said, before filling in the details: a gun, red high heels, polar bear rug, rugged Alaska landscape and a scared moose. His daughter, who looks a little like Palin and does a great impression of her, served as model for the governor's body

“....I pretty much despise everything she stands for.....”

What does she stand for that you despise?

Smaller government?
Lower taxes?
Self reliance?
Energy independence?

Yeah, those are things to hate someone for

Actually, I didn't, but in my day sex ed was about two weeks of one hour classes - total. The sad thing about those classes, is that we kids already knew everything they covered.

I shudder to think what those classes are like today, with the perverted libs running the schools. No way in hell I'd ever allow any of my kids to be subjected to them.

"despise everything she stands for"

So this jerk hates free speech, free assembly, in short the whole constitution? What a tool.

Pervert he is. Now THIS is an instance your husband perhaps could comment on intelligently - can an image of another person be used, legally, in this manner?

Why don’t they show one of Barry french-kissing Larry Sinclair?

Paint it and hang it. That's what this CLOWN is doing. The art talent he has wouldn't pay for a small pizza.

He's probably looking for a little promotion to help build business.

His only hook is that his amateurish effort is of Palin.
That assured him of SOME attention from that FOREVER groping liberal left.

Any attention given to him over his painting is exactly what he's seeking.

Click.. Just turn it off.

Its junk like this that will keep Sarah from the White House—that’s why its in the news and will keep being in the news. Its to keep her as a joke/sex symbol. What I would really like to know is what things she stands for he hates and why? Is it her Christian values? Gun rights? No, Sadly Sarah must rebuild her place in the lower 48. She should run for senate or house—get elected (not hard in Alaska) move to Washington and start to build her base there. I would love to see her as Speaker of the house.

Elliott's wife, Tobin Mitchen,
owns the bar on Chicago's North Side

Lets get this right now,
He lives off of his wife
His art offerings are terrible
Uses his daughter as a nude model

I say, that pretty much is the definition of a LOSER.

Why, he is only a few religious symbols made of fecal material away from being a celebrated (NEA grant-getting) artist.

That's the first thought that hit me. When (not if) that happens, you can bet the same menagerie will be "oohing" and "aahing" over the "strength of composition", "free speech", ad nauseum.

Mr Elliot,
Just to set you straight...That is not a portrait of Sarah Palin in the nude. It’s a nude picture of your own daughter onto which you added Sarah’s head. You are one sick, confused moron.
