What is it about Salon lately that has me, ME, defending George Bush? I hate George Bush. I even hate Laura Bush. She wasted 8 years as First Lady doing nothing more than...well..than decorating Christmas trees.
But you know what I hate more?? Artists with a political bent who want nothing more than to embarass someone, and then complement themselves on how important the mesaage of their art is. Maybe we should have video screens posted around the White House showing performance artists burning Bush images in effigy.
Let this woman hang her political ornaments on her own fuckin' tree. Of course, no one would write an article about her if she did that.
And by the way, the ornanament was NOT pretty. Maybe it wasn't hung because she's not a very good artist.
