"Did Clinton actually say one good thing about President Bush? If so, I missed it."

If so, it'd be the first time.

Thank you! I heard the end and figured out the gist was the "first First Lady to be painted wearing a pant suit".

It made me laugh, too.

[sweetliberty]

Laura looks like she's trying to keep a straight face. That must be tough!

[sweetliberty]

Okay, now I'm waiting for our resident photoshop experts to capture the true Clinton essence in these "portraits".

[hattend]

He's got that Mussolini self righteous "harrumph" frown down perfectly.

I was wondering what was off about these portraits ( aside from the subjects ) and just figured it out. Not to insult the artist, but I will. Both looked like they were knocked together for movie props in an Aaron Sorkin type film, not for posterity.

OMG!! It's a REAL photo of those crimial Clintonistas!! One problem, Sandy Berger is not the ONLY EVIL in that picture! What a Buffoon Presidency.

Where did this come from? It is great!

My guess is that Chelsea will be WORSE than her parents.

[rwfromkansas]

And who can blame her for having some surgery. With her parents, it almost would be a necessity. :)

Hitlery looks like Ellen Degeneres in hers, Bill just looks fat in his. GW must have been about to choke the whole time he had to give that speech. I was laughing myself.

I don't blame anyone for having some surgery. Plastic surgery is my new fascination. When it's good, it's very, very good, but when it's bad, it's horrid! I love it both ways, but the bad stuff is much more fun to critique! When it's good, though, I'm always happy for the person who has it done.

I am only 33 (yeah, ONLY!), so I don't need anything done for a while, but I am seriously considering a facelift and some new boobies when the time comes.

What the heck? You only go 'round once.

[Rainmist]

I guess if I just had a rhinoplasty I'd look good too ! Her foundation is too light and her lipstick too dark. Looks like a 'haunt !!

[Old anti feminist]

The only painting that showed the flag? The first "black " president, painted by the first black artist? Bush overdid his praise for these worms! Notice Hillary was in her pantsuit in the portrait? The artist couldn't paint those legs for posterioty. I'm a new one but will be back.

[RipSawyer]

I just TURNED sixty and if I had the benefit of all the plastic surgery she just had I could probably look like Elvis did IN sixty.

For the younger set who don't know---that painting was in Picture of Dorian Gray, a movie so old that Angela Lansbury played a virgin.

Actually, I believe Dorian Gray was originally a character in a novel, although I'm not sure which one or even if that's right. I do know however, that that character and a version of the picture were used in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the subplot involving Dorian Gray was, in my opinion, one of the only good things in that movie.

I think W is being presidential, and is honoring the OFFICE, not the man.

My younger sister has had countless plastic surgeries, things lifted, reduced, tightened and removed. She looked great before any of them so it is hard for me to understand her motives. She explains that by living in an exclusive area of California, everyone is enhancing their looks and she's just trying to keep up. By living in a non-exclusive area of Alabama, I'm just confused. ;-)
