Yeo George Bush: But Is It Porn?
DO you know what it is yet?
Well, that bit looks like a lady’s…
And that bit looks like a gentleman’s…
No, no, no – stand back and look at the whole picture…
Oh good Lord!…
We have just been looking at a new picture by British artist Jonathan Yeo. And judging by its content, we doubt that it will please his old dad – Tory Tim, the honourable member for Suffolk South.
Young Jonathan’s picture features members of a different kind. The Sun reports that he “cut up more than 100 top-shelf publications” in order to construct the collage.
All very good, but as we said before, the full effect can only be appreciated when one stands back and views the piece as a whole.
Then one can see the picture for what it really is: a portrait of the US President, George Bush.
Curators at the Bush Library had originally commissioned Yeo to do a portrait of Dubya, then had second thoughts and pulled out (matron!). But the cheeky scamp decided to go ahead anyway.
The resulting effort, which is on show at the Lazarides Gallery in London, has not gone down well in Bush quarters (matron!). A spokesman for Republicans Abroad International declared that it will cause “outrage” back in the US of A.
A Republican statesman for Dubya’s home state of Texas agreed. ‘This picture is very distasteful,’ he said.
And looking at that famous face, with its fiercely intelligent eyes pinched into that familiar statesmanlike stare, we can see what he means.
But don’t be too alarmed. As with all disturbing images, it’s important to remember that it’s only a picture, not the real thing.

Outrage in the US of A?
Not at all, in fact I like it. Very few people, accept right wing nuts and the profoundly stupid, take Bush seriously anymore anyway. Look how many of his henchmen have jumped ship lately. They got the message, he seems to be the only one who hasn’t.
Now I hear he maybe putting one his old cronies in charge of the homeland security department. A man with no legal, military, law enforcement, or intelligence experience, but he is an old friend of Georges so we’ll be OK right?
Right?
Heeeeellppp!!!!!!

So he thinks George Bush is a mixture of a PR**K and a C**T?
Sounds right to me!
