Bill Lockyer Loves “Crappy” Art

The S.F. Chronicle reports.
Headline: “Painting of U.S. in toilet raises GOP hackles”
Byline reads: “Attorney general asked to remove work in state-owned building”
Depicting the American flag in a toilet should be a bipartisan concern. One would hope. But perhaps the paper is right: Only Republicans care about upholding respect for our nation.
Or is there another implication?
Of course, Democrats are quick to declare that it’s all just a matter of “free speech.” As it always is.
With that in mind, here’s some more art that Lockyer might enjoy.

(Available in bronze; podium not included)
It makes a perfect gift. From us to you.

You people are stuck in the stone age. Respect is earned. Lockyer better not take down that picture because that’s an adequate portrayal of what you scumbags have done to this country. Bush lied and put this country in the shitter with his phoney “democracy for all bullshit.” I will remind you bush murdered 1750 American soldiers by illegally invading a sovereign nation.(no WMD’s, however, treason was commited by Karl Rove for outing a CIA agent.) The bush should be on trial before the world court on crimes against humanity. So tell me repub boys, since 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi who did the WTO Building, and the person responsible was in the tora bora mountains why was the SF pulled out of Aghanistan to be relocated in Iraq? Why was the war redirected? Could you explain that? Why is there a 1 billion dollar shortfall for veterans benefits? Why did bush want to cut combat pay if he and you repubs are such patriots? This administration and the republican party are making it possible for this country to fall like the USSR did. You wasted 300 billion dollars and 1750 Americans on a war for NOTHING!!!! As a veteran of war, I detest what you did to a silver star winner during the 2004 election (john Kerry). You smeared a decorated veteran while most of you patriotic Americans dodged the draft with 2-S deferments. I’m still waiting for bush to produce his 201 file/personal records. Kerry produced his. Producing dental records and a couple of pay stubs don’t make it in my book. But I will give you credit where credit is due. Your masters at spin deception, and treason. I have more respect for my enemies than I do you republicans. AT least I know where my enemies are coming from. Judgement day is around the corner. I’m ready

Crappy Art
The Attorney General of California is under fire displaying a controversial piece of “art.” The story as told by the San Francisco Chronicle (hat tip to California Conservative):
A painting of the United States sinking into a toilet now …

Yeah, Bush lied and people died. Please! Liberating Iraq is as illegal as Clinton “invading” Bosnia.
Take the log out of your own eye….

Our Next Governor?
Stop by The Interocitor’s site and check out what passes for art in California Attorney General Lockyer’s lobby. Calling for the Attorney General’s impeachment, or recall, is a bit extreme. Just remember that image when Lockyer runs for governor. …

The Two Faces of Bill Lockyer
It is hard to imagine Bill Lockyer speaking today at the funeral of Sacramento Sheriffs Deputies Joseph Kievernagel, 36, and Kevin Blount, 29, who died in the crash of their helicopter on July 13th.
While he spoke as a gesture of solidarity with t…

Jerry, sir, you sound a little troubled. A little angry. A lot confused. Consider getting some help. But we’re here for you, man.
BTW, we didn’t know Kerry had a silver star. Wow. We thought it was a purple heart. At least, that’s what he mentioned - all. the. time. You also mentioned that you’re a veteran. Thank you for your service. Do you still carry a firearm? Just wondering…
Politics makes some folks trigger happy.
Sounds like you’re a religious man, too. Speaking of “judgement day”* and being “ready.” Good for you. We’re still preparing…
(*Or were you referring to Arnold and the special election?)

Two thoughts:
1) Keeping mind I in no way want to offend a California Conservative, it’s interesting that it appears CALIFORNIA is in the toilet dragging the rest of the country into a cesspool, which is ironic noting the artist.
2) The more liberals keep it up, the better it is for Republicans. They are so gross it just makes you want to look away.
