The original commission reflects the purpose and circumstance under which it was created. The assumption, ignorance, and lack of research on George H W Bush's behalf regarding the painting, which has hung in his office since he became governor of Texas, reflect brilliantly and poetically his office and his legacy. He has promoted himself publicly as an evangelist and savior who has ultimately been exposed as a thief of freedom and a witless liar.

Your comment was in the moderating cue, I just got in the door. I'm assuming you mean your first one at 12:31. I believe all your comments are up, if they aren't please get in touch and I'll insert them manually. Ferret, ankle biting nanna nanna boo booers, intellectual (perjorative), coward. Oh. If this had been the story of a painting in 24 Sussex would you have felt so ignored? I think the story of the painting and it's ownership is interesting. I'm sorry you have a problem with that. And I'm sorry you are upset your comments are put in cue along with everyone else. Do you feel better? Leroy:
