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

Gee they are hard up for a story. Do they think they are being green by recycling old news now?

"...I pretty much despise everything she stands for." Let that statement resonate for a moment, then realize that this putz has been totally had by the Obama Ministry of Propaganda.
If he listened to Sarah Palin for more than two minutes, he couldn't possibly "despise everything she stands for."
I watched my own sister fall into that carefully engineered mindset during the election. Not 24 hours after Sarah Palin's acceptance speech, she was already sending me hateful lies about Sarah.
I asked her if she'd watched Sarah's speech, or if she'd even read it, and she said "no". I asked her if she'd read up on the Governor's history, and she said "no". But overnight, she was somehow an expert on what Palin believed, and knew for a "fact" that Sarah Palin was a complete joke.
I have never seen the left react to any conservative politician the way they've reacted to Sarah Palin. She scares them like no one before her.

One of the comments at that link:
So where did he get a moose to pose for him?
Good point.

Sickness glorified by the media.

the daytime bartendress taking care of her regular customers in ways that have nothing to do with pouring a cold one. Didn't one of the other articles identify her as the "artist's" daughter? He used her as a nude model for a fake Sarah Palin, and also painted her doing unspeakable things with the customers?

Oh, what a true artist like Alberto Vargas could of done with a beauty like Palin. I was thinking Maxfield Parrish, but Vargas would work too.

I think he could despise everything Sarah Palin stands for.

I think he could despise everything Sarah Palin stands for. Considering what he stands for, it would be a compliment!

Clicked on link in hopes of seeing something that might lend itself to pruriency. Disgusted instead by a childish, gross caricature.

Yep. Some people actually do despise all that is good and right in the world.

He used his own daughter as a nude model. He made another painting of his daughter providing sexual services to the customers. And this is the sort of model citizen the MSM holds up as a voice of criticism against Sarah Palin.
Has the world turned upside down, or is it just me?
