NAKED BUSH Washington Post: "To the troubled City Museum of Washington, an exhibition by local artists seemed just the hip solution to attract a new, desperately needed audience. But instead 'Funky Furniture', a show of painted living room pieces, has been evicted by the museum because some of the artists' themes were considered unsuitable. And what is a living room without a prominent painting? Kayti Didriksen, a local artist, decided to paint President Bush and Vice President Cheney in the well-known style of Manet's 'Olympia'. Bush is nude and reclining on a chaise longue, and Cheney, in a suit and tie, is holding a velvet pillow with a crown topped by an oil rig." 2:14:36 PM
