Nude Sarah Palin Artist Working On Naked Blagojevich Painting

[camera obscura]

Mired in a scandal that could strip him of his pride, his job and the misperception that anyone shares his enthusiasm for his hair, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has now also been stripped of his clothes.

A nude portrait of the governor, by artist Bruce Elliott, is nearly complete and will hang on the wall of Elliott's wife's bar, the Old Town Ale House, next to his infamous depiction of a naked Sarah Palin. It is the next installment in what Elliott loosely calls his "nude governor series."

Elliott cites many sources of inspiration for the painting, which shows the governor, who was arrested last week on corruption charges, preparing for a potential first day of incarceration.

There's more and part of the unfinished painting at the source... http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/arts/chi-talk-ale-artdec19,0,5136319.story :barf:

Here's the picture:





Wonder who his next governor is.

8. Blagojevich and Palin would make a great couple

They both get off on power and are both corrupt to the bone.
