Comments for Chicago dive bar scores hit with nude Sarah Palin portrait »
Posted By JamesMarcus 1 year, 1 month ago in NewsSarah Palin has inspired editorials, blog posts, investigations and dispatches galore since her announcement as the Republican vice-presidential nominee four weeks ago. Now she’s the subject of a nude portrait, unveiled Thursday and drawing crowds to the Old Town Ale House on Chicago’s North Side.
The four-foot-tall oil painting depicts the current governor of Alaska standing atop a polar bear-skin rug in her living room, nude, except for a pair of red stiletto heels and her trademark eyeglasses. In the picture she leans on an automatic rifle while beaming a megawatt smile. Behind her, a window looks out onto a pristine Alaska landscape, complete with a moose that has just ambled into the frame.
The portrait fits right in at the ale house, a dark and famously dingy bar frequented by Second City performers and crew, whose walls are adorned with more than 200 paintings of bar regulars and well-known Chicagoans, often engaged in various sexual acts. The Palin portrait has quickly become the bar’s star attraction, drawing a steady stream of picture-snapping admirers. According to the hand behind this and the rest of the paintings, former golf hustler and bar co-owner Bruce Elliott, his latest piece is even pulling in regulars from rival establishments. (Propeller members with a Flickr account can see the painting here--and no doubt it's made some additional appearances on the Web by now.)

I want to congratulate the Artist's subject material along with his (not so hidden messages) in the photo. But...Pulease do not do a nude caricature of the extended family of our White House Bushes, maybe Jenna and her sister but not the others.

Well, did she ( whoever it was) pose in a bathing suit or nude? Oh that probably never occurred to you that she could have posed in a bikini which would be appropriate. Or is this just a sick neo-con rumor to destroy the character of the artist in retaliation?

If you bunch of ignorant inbred twits even knew one percent of your own political history, you'd probably all have a coronary over all the filthy SEX in politics and political campaigning, like the rather graphic descriptions AND pictures put out by Jefferson's opponents about him and a certain slave of his and their little romps in the hay, or the old doggeral 'Ma ma where's pa?' to which was added by victorious dems Supporting an adulterous and successful Cleveland, 'Gone to the White House HA HA HA' (Grover Cleveland had a bastard child, and was elected to the presidency TWICE, during the height of 19th century Victorian seual hypocracy'.

Hey, those chicago people will never learn. Wait a minute! That's the same crap they said about Bush and McCain people! Boy, was I a stupid person for falling for something like that. When will I learn to stop and think about what I'm saying about honest, hard working, descent, intelligent Chicagoans before putting my foot in my mouth? I feel like such a fool! Oh, wait a minute again! I wasn't the dumb-ass who said anything about Chicagoans. It was that dumb-ass "Massto" who said that stupid ****!

The reason as to why they chose Palin to paint nude while other former presidents and presidential candidates have been passed up is because the fact is, if they painted any of those people the viewers would be forced into ungodly acts such as alcohol comsumption, drug addiction and suicide to block out the images. ;P

Palin has been selected as McCain's running mate so that the racists who are refusing to vote for Obama can assuage their consciences by voting instead for a woman!

As much as I dislike the woman, the simple fact is that she's being used. Hmmmmmmm... maybe she deserves it! Perhaps if she didn't have such an abysmal track record where women's rights are concerned, someone from N.O.W. would have taken her to lunch and explained things to her before her gigantic ego allowed her to accept the nomination and make a total fool of herself.

how can you say she should be president?!?! did you just wake up? she has made it clear on NATIONAL television that she has no idea what the vice president is supposed to do! she has been asked questions in interviews that she didnt know the answer to. she is an embarrassment to this nation. but you think she should be president because she is a good wife and mom?!!? hundreds of thousands of women in america are good wives and moms, does that mean they are qualified to be president?!!? my god!

do you not think that the fact that she admits she doesnt know what do do is a good sign that you shouldnt be in the whitehouse?!?-

Hate to burst your bubble of ignorance, but Palin is the one who got the question right during the VP debate. "Say it ain't so Joe" was WRONG in his response to the question. Not only did old Joe get the VP duties wrong, he referenced the wrong article of the constitution. For someone that is suppose to be all wise-and-full of knowledge, he is just full-of-it.

You guys are something else. Your sitting here praising this women when 1) She just got caught being guilty for throwing her weight around. 2) Her own people from her own state have some very negative remarks to make about what they know of her. 3) A Ralley just took place with a bunch of her own "HOCKEY MOMS AND DADS again from her own state" against her becoming VP where they more than you or I as to what type of a person she is. 4)Last but not least, she is promoting "Real women kill deer/moose" She's going to bomb out on her own by belitting other women. We don't need to kill wild life in order to be considered a real women. I am the proud mother of raising four children and foster childen. I never held a gun in my life and I consider myself a "REAL WOMEN" This Palin lady is sick and needs to go back to Alaska......I don't want anyone in the white house who is going to tell any little girl they should be killing wild life in order to become a "REAL WOMEN."

What Sarah Palin you are referring to? Why are you in denial? I guess you make 250K a year? Like you ain't middle class? I don't hate America just the ways that Americans like you who think like this...However, opinion is like as A$$hole...everybody has one...sobeit...Democrats and Republicans are just parties? I think some people choose to be Republican just to feel better about themselves...You are middle class hard working struggling American. I am disabled veteran, middle class income...just like you

The biggest decision Palin has each day is to decide which pair of glasses to wear? Intelligent, I don't think so? Her interview with Katie Couric proved that if she did prepare in advance for the question she couldn't use her intelligence to answer it. I didn't think asking what magazines she read was a difficult question but apparently for Palin it was. Don't give me the crap that she purposely didn't answer properly because she thought the questions were assinine. I guess some people think that asking Palin about Constitutional Amendments wasn't a proper question either for a possible Vice President?
As far as her morality, she was found guilty of overstepping her executive duties in trying to get her brother-in-law fired and now there is word that the contractor who built the ice skating rink in her town, also built her home for FREE when she was mayor.
As far as being a natural leader, I agree with you. I think she is a natural to lead a group of hunters to kill polar bears, moose, wolves and whatever other animals she feels like slaughtering. I bet if we went to her home we would see several animal heads mounted on her walls. Not animals that were killed for food but for the fun of it. That's what she calls FUN! I call that SICK! -

Served in the Gulf War and wholeheartedly support Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Perhaps if more people thought of this country as a home for all of us instead of opposing teams we'd live up to the ideals set out for us by the founding fathers. It's not about what party you are affiliated with, it's about the common good. Do some real research before typing your ignorant drivel for all the world to see.

Palin shows great intelligence in understanding that this world is ruled by Satan and his demons. She is a Christian and those are the people who are targets for all kinds of deviltry. We need to bond together and have people praying for our safety. You have to understand that this world will someday be destroyed by God and we need to align ourselves with Him.

I am a Christian and I am fed up with the Religious Right spewing a message of hatred and fear about Obama/Biden. In fact, the Religious Right ought to examine their motives...not very Christlike. If Jesus Christ were here today, he would suibscribe more to the principles of care of our elderly and poor than the principles of favoring the wealthy and corporations.

No more or less vulgar than this painting and those who admire it. What is good for the gander is good for the goose. I can be just as sexist as those who attack Palin in that manner. I just choose to use sexism to attack the Obama's because we all know that sexism is OK with Democrats and Progressives.

Completely typical behavior of the mindless Obama herd. Do we really want that kind of rabble running our country's government? Up till now, how many nude "pictures" of any presidential ticket nominee has anyone ever seen? This "picture" is entirely indicative of the Obama bunch's understanding of the importance of national issues at hand.

I think that it is a sad commentary on society when a woman who is a devoted mother of 5, a faithful wife and a leader of state is reduced to a b**ch in heals. I pray that my daughter is treated fairly for living her life with honor. I believe that Gov. Palin may be too inexperienced to serve as VP, so I am not speaking from prejudice. However, I am a woman.

MrTomTom, you couldn't answer the questions either as well as half of the Senate when a poll was done, so what? Did you ask the same question of Clinton or Reagon when they ran. I guarantee yoou she had as much experience as Clinton when he was Govenor? The fact is she has the highest approval rating of any Gonenor in recent history, you don't accomplish that by not doing your job. Which would you rather have, a women how didn't know a ruling, or a President in Obama who didn't know how many states we have in our country? Of course you probly have know idea either?

I am a fervent Obama supporter who also thinks this is waaaaaay tacky - it's sexist, inappropriate, and serves no purpose other than to fan the sophomoric senses of humor of a bunch of overgrown boys in a bar. And I'll betcha that not every single "boy" who goes in there and ogles it will be a Democrat, either. Regardless, Palin is digging her own political grave with her ignorance of the issues and willingness to turn a blind eye to ethical behavior, and this kind of nonsense does nothing to help - or hurt - anyone's cause. It's just stupid.
Reply
There is no need to be crass and obnoxious about any part of this election. If I thought for one moment that this bar behavior reflects the majority of Democrats or Obama supporters, I'd be even more offended, but I'm certain that it does not. Merely the intellectual midgets amongst us, and there are plenty of those to go around, in both parties, and around the world. Most Dems I know - and that's an awfully lot, actually - would not find this to be either titillating or interesting. Herd mentality is not really a part of our make-up, thankyouverymuch.
I'd love to hear the details of Obama being a "proven thief and liar," by the way, Mr. Nobama. I'm sure you've got the straight scoop that apparently everyone else missed. -

We have become a nation that has no respect for anyone or anything as this indicates, and I fear that we have gone down the road of moral decay so far that there is no turning back. Most Americans are wondering what is happening to our country with the economic crisis we are now in, and the world being threatened by terrorism and wars, along with the break-up of families. etc. Well, let me tell you what is happening. God is lifting His Hand of Grace from us, and is beginning to bring His Righteous Wrath upon our once great Nation.

Wellll, Truthfirst, that is one way to look at it. Or we could see it as part of the cyclical nature of the humanity . . . because "Righteous Wrath" is one of the greatest oxymorons of all time, and - surpirse! - not everyone happens to buy into that one. My God, who set us onto this path of humanity, holds us with compassion and trusts us to find our way back. Please keep your eternal zeal for you own life - LIVE the message rather than shriek it at people. Much more effective. If more people lived as Jesus and the prophets of every religion have taught - with kindness, generosity, compassion and sincerity, the world would be a very different place, with no room for the fear you so freely spout. Fear is not the answer. Goodness is the answer, and we all have it inside. Sounds stunningly simplistic, I know, but wow. What if we all found that goodness, and just started living by it? Minding our own stores, caring for others who need us. Being honest. Being kind. Laughing - with others, not at them. Sorta that stuff we learned waaaay back in elementary school, yes? Allowing each individual to live true to themselves so that they can give their whole selves to the world rather than having to defend their choices . . . Hard to even imagine in the world created these last eight years, filled with so much hate.

monkeyhead-77 Unfortunately, with all of your rhetoric one can see that you don't have much knowledge of what the Scriptures teach about God and how our sins are an offense to Him, and that one day each of us is going to have to give an account for what we have done in this life. BTW – I was not shrieking at people, I was merely telling the truth about why things are happening today in our country. Also, ones walk is paramount and speaks volumes about ones life. However, we are to tell others about what the Bible teaches so that they know why we walk and live the way we do.

The GOP was planning to hit the GOP's heart with the selection of McCain as a standard bearer. But finding out that the religious right had no heart, like the fiscally conservative base, they chose to bring Palin to the ticket to entice the lower portions of the anatomy.

Sexism is still alive and well in the USA and many people still view women as purely sexual objects. they do so at their peril. Women on average are more intelligent than men (the 3 highest IQ's ever recorded are all women)
Reply
Sarah Palin's popularity comes from the fact that many women can identify with her - wife, mother, citizen who got ticked off with local crap and decided to do something about it.
It is wonderful to have a normal person running for high office. -

Gov. Palin is from Alaska, so the rug is correct. The painting is the work of a really sick individual.

Why don't they put up a picture of Senator Obama? Do they find him politically incorrect? Or are they having a problem with finding a rug that represents him? -

Now i know why we cannot get anyone to run for office. We praise all who read,laugh,and enjoy the pandering to the people who enjoy degrading of others. Why would anyone with any integrity,heartfelt kindness toward others,wish to lead a nation that thrives on greed. disabuse of office. and a wish to destroy all that is good. There is a great outcry when those in Washington do not preform as expected.

Those we elect have no loyalty to the citzens who elected them. They know the reason they were elected was due to the smoke screens of the press. And the money behind them. But most of all because of the the citizens who defeat the good men and women because these are the ones with a heart. who feel . Who would have made a difference. Who care . We will never have another George Washington, Jefferson,Adams etc. Could you see the headlines. Teeth made of of wood. Probable his head too. Rich wife''' Has mansion for a home. Abuses workers.!!!!!War record??? Lived in a tent while troops slept on ground. Why the British left voluntarily. Old George had the picture made of him and a couple of British General friends exchangeing swords as a joke. Valley Forge!!! Just a few miles from home. He left to plant for next spring.
I believe in the freedom of speech however painting a vice president in the nude and hanging it in a bar underscores what ia wrong with america. We should be respectiful of our men and women whom run office. We should never vote for anyone you don't have respect for. These men and women are very brave
THE ONLY MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL RUN FOR OFFICE THAT YOU CAN RESPECT ARE THOSE WHO ARE TREATED WITH RESKPECT. -

I have a problem with the media of any kind making a big deal of gender in the presidential race. I don't see any nudes of Obama, McCain, or of any other male candidate runnig for any office. In defense of the women that have the courage to run for office of any kind, should do so on their merit not how sexy they look, or if they made their way up through some sort of sexaul encounters. That has been the downfall of their male counter-parts least wise before election and afterwards the subject of many jokes about them, their spouses, and their male/female lovers.

I haven't seen the painting, but then, I didn't see a picture of Clinton getting a BJ in the oval office either, nor did I see a candid shot of Bush in the midst of any of his underhanded shenanegans, nor was I privvy to hearing how the fat cats that we have in place to lead this country who are instead lining their pockets with kick backs and pay offs to further the causes of the other crooks who seek "favors". Some day, and I hope soon, the truth may come out as to just who was at the helm when all this crap came down... who is scratching who's back and who are the jackasses that came to the conclusion that the AMERICANS would pick up the tab for wall streets corruption and for all of the illegal's food, housing, medical, education, etc etc. Government gives assistance to them INSTEAD of it's own legal, law abiding people who need help. Someone has lost their notch stick and Bush is probably going to have a net dropped over him one of these days.... his behavior is not SANE.... OPEN BORDERS ? ? ALLOWING THE OUT SOURCING TO TAKE AWAY JOBS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND ON TOP OF THAT GIVING "ILLEGAL" FOREIGNERS TO TAKE WHAT FEW JOBS ARE LEFT IN THE U S ? ? ? ME THINKS THAT A ******** OF PALIN IS SMALL POTATOS COMPARED TO THE ACTIONS OF THESE SLIME BALLS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CONGRESS, SENATE, AND EVERY OTHER BODY OF GOVERNMENT THAT IS ON THAT BAND WAGON. SARAH HAS HER EYE ON THE MAIN EVENT AND HAS NOT FORGOTTEN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PATRIOTIC... HUMAN .... AND, CAN YOU SAY "INTEGRITY" ? ? ? IT IS MY PRAYER THAT WE WILL GET RID OF ALL OF THESE SELF SERVING NINCOMPOOPS AND REPLACE THEM WITH MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE HONORABLE.

I guess democrats enjoy publicly degrading women by depicting them with out cloths. Sarah Palin is so much better put together than this picture can convey, so they try to degrade her twice.
Reply
It’s so painfully obvious that the Obama camp is on the extreme side of sexist, even Bill Clinton can’t hang with this guy. Ask Hillary how she thinks she had been treated during the primary. PS she already told you early on that she was treated unfairly by the Obama camp due to being a woman. So he is not a Muslim, really?
You Dems that think Obama will set you free can stuff a cigar in it! -

Dunkirk your name speaks for itself. You are an idiot. I hope someone does this to your family. It just goes to show how low you liberals are. Godforbid someone did this of the annointed one's wife. Would never hear the end of it and of course race would come into it too. No one can say anything about Obama without is comments that how nasty are the Republicans. He is no class act only someone who has been primed to run for years. I hope ACORN is his downfall because it is part of our economic problems. Some class act.

In regards to Obama and his promises of change. Have any of you heard of the saying "If it sounds to good to be true it usually is". It's obvious he's done his homework, and playing everyone because he knows desperate fools will rush in and will, if gets elected, never plans on fulfilling his promises just like so many cadidates before him. He kinda reminds me of an actor playing out a role. Plus, why would anyone in their right mind want to elect someone who reluctantly places thier hand over their heart during national anthem or wear anything that symbolyzes our flag. Yeah, he'll give us change, but not the kind you'll want, like bait and switch

I agree...he wants to say he will lower middle class taxes but that won't happen...it will get a vote...if you own a small business watch out because he already told a plumber yesterday he was going to raise his taxes so he could spread the wealth. Can someone say "socialist"?
Reply
If he is really wanting to create jobs it doesn't start with raising taxes on our small businesses that do create jobs! Eloquent words with no substance!

Omegatronprime: Who is responsible for 9/11 your liberal pal Clinton that's who. He did nothing about the 93 bombing of the WTC, The Cole, the barracks and many other bombings. He could have gotten Bin Laden. I lost many friends on 9/11 so shout your mouth about it since you know nothing of what happened.

So people can dig up the lamest dirt on both of the Republicans but NO one wants to open their eyes that Obama's just as bad, excuse me, WORSE in the things he has done in the past, but let's not bring that up because it's considered "racist" please... I'm sick and tired of people trashing McCain and Palin, but Obama and Biden are saints... Righhhhht. Quit acting like Obama does no wrong, just because you push things under a rug in the living room it doesn't make it clean... Aka Obama's not innocent either no matter how many people push his bad qualities and bad judgement under a rug.

One can only wonder who would do this painting.... As much as I dislike the woman...and I so do dislike her... I find this humor just wrong and tasteless. I feel sorry for her, just this once, since I am sure this was done recently and not done years ago when a lot of young people do stupid things. Oh well, maybe she won't notice, since she isn't the brightest color in the box of crayons.

Hey, righton2, who the hell cares about John McCain's personal life? What, are you going to tell me you've lived your life like a nun or a monk? I really don't give a damn about what goes on in the privacy of his home or in his private life, all that concerns me, is that the guy could run this country a hell of a lot better than Obama could. Yeah, like you've never known of any other politician that cheated or left their wife for another woman and yet was STILL liked and respected! I wasn't even born at the time Kennedy was president, but from what I've learned, he was a well loved and highly respected President by a lot of people. Don't tell me HE didn't cheat! Jeesh, get a hold of yourself! I feel a lot safer knowing that McCain would be in charge instead of Obama! NOBAMA!

It is degrading to women in general esp to a working mother, wife, and official. To mock her in such a way is disgusting. If I were not already voting for her I would definitely change my mind. It is such a shame that the people of this nation has lowered themselves to these standards. Some of the comments on this board show the ignorance of our people. Be respectful! Show intelligence when you speak! Make your comments say something other than "I'm stupid". Be proud to be an American and have a choice when we do vote. Some nations don't have that priviledge. Think hard...look at the policies and the person not the skin color. Don't be racist be an American. I will personally be voting McCain/Palin but that is my opinion. I challenge others to look at the persons running, read up on their views, make an informed decision. Don't just vote for skin color! Skin color won't run this country, a person with experience and values and good policies will. 143 days is not enough time to run this country (# of days Obama was in Senate before vieing for President). Its a job that needs experience not on-the-job training! Our troops deserve better than that!

I work in a service related industry. Even before this photo came out I have had church going family men young and old say they "are voting for McCain because of the hot number he chose for a running mate." I was shocked when one very devout born again Christian man that teaches Sunday school said he "wants to f--k her." When I asked what they liked about McCain's and Palin's political platform they had absolutely no clue.

Well I just know that if your butt ugly like Hillary you won't have to worry about anyone doing you in the nude. In fact you won't have to worry about anyone doing you at all. It has got to make the womans libs choke to see a woman that is actually good looking thats not an idiot. Oh but they have to make her out like one to justify their own existence. It's a good thing Obama has their best interests at heart, making sure the can abort all the fetuses they stomach. that would make a nice painting to hang in your den.

Sarah Palin doesn't appear to me to be much of a parent nor a Christian. A parent who exposes her pregnant child to national disdain, and drags her handicapped baby to 12:00 p.m. events is more politian than parent. She obviously did not "choose" to have a handicapped child. Since she doesn't believe in abortion, there is no choice involved. Sarah Palin has set the women's movement back 50 years and will set it back even more if we are fools enough to elect them.

IDN do you have a clue or do you have your femenist headb shoved up a liberal orifice. I suppose you think obama is a good parent when he exposes his children to a purveyor of racial resentment. I don't care if he fell asleep in church. What about his children. I guess he intends to perpetuate racial resentment through his own children

Sarah Palin is NOT a good mother by any stretch of the imagination!!! It has been said more than once that her son went to Iraq to avoid prison that was the choice he was given by law which still remains to be proven- in all fairness to her son. Her daughter is obviously a very unhappy young lady, the one that is having a baby out of wedlock--Did you see her sad face during the Republican Convention?? My mother never had time for me is written all over her face!!! Unless your too stupid to see this? And Sarah's poor little baby is most likely being used by her own mother to score political points. Sarah Phoney is always seen lugging her baby around for the cameras NO Doubt!!! Can you imagine when the cameras are off how quickly she must hand that poor little baby off to anybody who will take it??!! It is just so obvious that she never had time for any of her children because she is just a very Self Centered Egotistical Career Woman. In her mind she may think she is a good mother, but in reality the only person Sarah really cares a lot about is her Swelled Headed Self! What a Loud and Big Mouth Psycho Jerk she is...
