The Greatest Portrait Ever



Now that you're happily full of pancakes and djinn fizz, consider these portraits and ask yourself if one of them is not like the others.





Here's a hint.

Your Friend,

What's with the huge hands and extra fingers? Honestly - both portraits are laughably poor. That's what happens when you have a diversity hire.

I think that the stencil used to repeat the pattern of the ivy is a particularly gauche touch. I still think that an empty chair would have been more representative - but having Barry look like a goof is very telling.

Clearly you are racist comrade for denying Lord Obama (may he rule forever) his place.

Six fingers, Adrienne. Scary, eh? And check out the AJ link, he highlights some other peculiarities...

LL, as I understand it, this masterpiece was colored in in China. That seems fitting, somehow. Research the "artist", Kahinde:

Is Kahinde a degenerate slave of Spirit Cooker Abramovic?

LSP said...

Good question, Julie.

LSP said...

Linda, I have to agree.

LSP said...

What an excellent link, Egyptian!

Dammit, Infidel, you got me there.

I was just sure you'd name Jimmy Carter. He was humble, faithful, honest, realized that we needed a sensible energy policy, and tried to give us one. The electorate laughed, and we still don't have one. He also kept our National Debt under 40% of GDP, which folks have not done.

Proud to be a Dhimmi

I have to give it to Carter, Dhimmi. He liked the Allman Brothers.

Eat a peach.
