�Displaying a sculpture to encourage discourse about the sexual power debate surrounding the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency is very much in line with our mission as a museum,� noted Daniel Gluck, Executive Director. �We are wholly dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality. Historically, leaders are often expected to possess an exceptional amount of virility or fertility with displays of that sexual power often tied to their success. The artist�s portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a president who also happens to be a sexual being conveys the message that a woman need not squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.�
Actually, if I saw this . . . thing coming at me, sex would be about the last thing on my mind.
The sculptor, one Daniel Edwards, is also responsible for the Britney Spears sculpture (possibly NSFW) of a few months ago.
Some opine that it (Hillary, not Britney) looks more like Steve Buscemi. Others say Jimmy Carter. With all due respect, these people are idiots. The inspiration for "Hillary" was clearly . . .

It is hideous. Danny Edwards' mental picture of Hillary as a'sexual being' likely included the Old Snapping Turtle strapping on some hardware and bending Danny over.

Indeed.
BTW, thanks for including me in your blogroll -- I've reciprocated the favor. Feel free to just use ordinary "e"s in Quebecois. I don't know if it's a problem specific to Blogger, but in my browser (Mozilla) the accents are rendered as "?"

It's hideous, but fascinating.
Somehow I don't think her breasts look like that.

I fixed the link spelling. Thank you in return for the reciprocal link, gnotalex.
Bruce, did you spend very much time imagining Hillary's breasts?

About a thousandth of a second. Far, far too long.
