Take a picture of the back end of any horse for much less and go with it.

I would approve of the painting if they show him dressed as a pirate with a eye patch.

We could just download the above photo, email it to a Freeper in DC and have them slap a plastic cover over it.

That way when we see it hanging in the hall when we do a tour we can spit at it and they would just have to wash it off rather than replace it.

But your idea would work too.

Why is one Senator allowed to dictate the legislative agenda of the entire Senate?

If this is the rule, THEN WHY DIDN”T ONE GOP SENATOR OBJECT TO OBAMACARE AND SHUT IT DOWN?!!!!

Yes, I am shouting!

Why doesn’t McConnell say to Reid “We won, sit down and shut up?”

I am so freaking tired of this stupidity!

I think I saw a sketch of the Reid painting...had a Nevada-Las Vegas feel to it, Reid dressed as a one-eyed Jack hanging upside down in a giant test tube of urine, stoppered with a huge elephant dung plug, leaning against a bus station urinal. All lit up with a spot light, sort of metaphoric reference to his home town....The frame had flashing lights like a slot machine spelling out JACKPOTTY!

Harry's oil painting will have to look more like his current appearance (shown below), now that his constituents (and others) were able to deliver their frank and persuasive feedback to him on this matter in person (using his ferocious exercise equipment).

A 30 cent mug shot does the same thing.

I wish the artist Ivan Albright was alive to do Harry Reid’s portrait:

From WIKI:

“In 1943 he was commissioned to create the title painting for Albert Lewin’s film adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. His realistic, but exaggerated, depictions of DECAY and CORRUPTION made him very well suited to undertake such a project. His brother [Malvin] was chosen to do the original uncorrupted painting of Gray, but the painting used on the film was from Henrique Medina. Ivan made the changes in the painting during the film. This original painting currently resides in the Art Institute of Chicago.”

Dingy is an exempt one-percenter. Have him pay for it himself.

When I read the thread title the first thing that popped into my head was The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Lol! In case anyone doesn't know...

"Piss Christ is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects, without controlling content."

Any of them will work. Why does he need ANOTHER portrait?

Yikes. That just might prevent somebody from running for office on a democrat ticket.
