BREAKING: Clinton White House Portrait Missing?
We're getting reports that all of Laura Bush's lovely Christmas decorations may have bumped some of the White House's usual art out of the building. Like the official portrait of Bill Clinton. A Wonkette operative writes:
"A friend of mine just got the chance to get a White House tour, and she really wanted to see President Clinton's portrait close up. She couldn't find it, and an usher quietly told her that it had been taken down to make room for Christmas decorations. But there was Bush 41 and Reagan still on the wall."

1. Is anyone surprized?

Its probably in a back office, with the words "BLAME THIS GUY FOR EVERYTHING" above it

[demnan]

2. W is haunted with the sinking feeling that his predecessor

was a better man than he.

[booksenkatz]

4. Those nasty old 8 years of peace and prosperity... PTOOEY! nt

[ScaRBama]

3. That's ok.....

I don't think Bill would care about hanging around in the Bush White House anyway.

5. Childish!

Taking down ONE president's picture to "make room for decorations" sounds more like an excuse to me. God forbid a democrat take down Ronnie's picture!

[Killarney]

11. Exactly. If Clinton took down Ronnie's picture

there would have been an indictment.

[tsuki]

25. Ronnie, Truman, Ike, Kennedy...I don't care. Leave the pics

alone.

They belong there. Dubya does not. They were elected President of the US, Dubya was not.

[democracy eh]

6. they will put it back up when they want to blame him for something

or maybe they are making room for a President Gore picture?

7. If Clinton took down Reagan's portrait, the Regressives would call the

proceeding scandal Reagan's-PortraitGate

[Chandler Stork]

8. Wonkette isn't always a reliable news source,

so I have to wonder if this isn't just a rumor, like the Ws being stolen from the WH computer keyboards in 2001. If true, it's appalling. The W administration's repeated willingness to Stalinize American history is disgusting and worrisome.

28. You mean they weren't?

I bought a whole bunch of them on eBay with a COA! Damn!

Tut-tut

[Kolesar]

9. & whited-out the "Saddam-Rumsfeld handshake" pics from the history books

Shades of Chairman Mao.

10. well this Bush and Co are pretty tacky.

[Ravenseye]

12. I'm sure it's down.

...and I'm also sure that they won't mention it officially at all, and if for some reason it were to come up, they'd make up some excuse about it needing to be cleaned or something, and while it' sbeing cleaned since it's christmas they hung stuff in it's place.

excuses when necessary.

[Radio-Active]

13. they had to make room for Frosty the Snowman

[wicket]

14. So effing petty

:mad:

[Bethany Rockafella]

15. That's the Bush's for ya!

Low class and tacky.

[Deja Q]

16. No good deed goes unpunished. Now if Kennedy and FDR vanished,

then I would give a damn. At least they were true to the party they were in.

Don't forget:

NAFTA

DOMA

DMCA

Monica

Telecom 'reform'

Welfare 'reform' (did nothing to corporate welfare)

Nixing federal speed limit, what with all the oil we have and all :eyes:

The firing of Jocelyn Elders for :gasp: getting people to talk about health issues.

I know there's more, but how much more NEEDS to be said?! Clinton was either an enabler or acting in biparti$anship.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. A little trick they learned from the USSR

nt

[ooglymoogly]

19. i have it on good authority that

it has been repaired to the gaming room where it has replaced the dart board

[goclark]

18. Mouth wide open! When will it end!

[Selwynn]

20. Who cares?

I'm sorry but I have more important things to worry about then OMG BUSH TOOK DOWN A PICTURE!!1!!!!!1111ONE!1111

[Straight Shooter]

21. It's a symbolic gesture. That's why I care.

It's a big FU to Clinton.

Remember that Clinton made Little Boots look ridiculous at the opening of the Library in Arkansas, as Little Boots attempted to squeeze past Clinton, even though protocol is that Clinton would be the first out the door and head the procession.

I think it's time for me to find a portrait of Clinton and place it in my home, all his misdirected policies and indiscretions aside.

[wicket]

22. kick

:kick:

[WindRavenX]

23. Bush is such a little man

I would pay good money to see Clinton kick Smirky's ass in a fist fight.

[baldguy]

24. duhbya has the emotional maturity of a four year old.

[donheld]

26. It won't surprise me if Clinton's portrait

Will only sporadically be displayed, if at all the rest of *'s term.

[quaoar]

27. When it's time for Dubya's portrait to be hung up

It should be in the men's room on a corridor that tour groups use so I can visit the WH and piss on it.
