Senator Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Bust To Be Unveiled at the Museum of Sex
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- New York, NY- July, 26 2006—- A presidential bust of Hillary Clinton is set to be unveiled at the Museum of Sex on August 9, 2006 at 10 am. Accentuating her sexual power and bolstered by the presidential seal, The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America will be officially open for public viewing on August 9 for a limited six week run.
Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom. Presented in a low cut gown, her cleavage is on display prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening.”...
...Edwards’ inspiration for the piece was derived from actress Sharon Stone’s controversial quote earlier in the year about challenges that would most likely be encountered should the Junior Senator from New York run on the ’08 ticket. “I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic,” Stone said. “But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.”
“Displaying a sculpture to encourage discourse about the sexual power debate surrounding the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency is very much in line with our mission as a museum,” noted Daniel Gluck, Executive Director. “We are wholly dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality. Historically, leaders are often expected to possess an exceptional amount of virility or fertility with displays of that sexual power often tied to their success. The artist’s portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a president who also happens to be a sexual being conveys the message that a woman need not squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.”

But I do agree with Grampster. The juxtaposition of her and "sexual power" does tend to put one off sex altogether.

If that's the definition, where can I take an oath of celibacy and check in at a monastery for the remainder of my days?

Y'all will excuse me now: that image and the concept of "sexuality" has caused my genitals to scream and retreat behind my pelvic bone...
Hunter, is this the Wiccan way of dealing with it? In the Catholic Church, we have easier ways . . .

No, we LIKE sexual anything, we're humans. We just don't particularly want to think about Hillary's sexuality.

Does anyone remember the good old days where 'sexual artists' only subjected us to pictures of people with whips stuck up their butts?

I don't know...if you removed the part from the clavicle on up it might be quite nice. The face though - not even fair to poor Hillary. Maybe her in twenty years or maybe what she really looks like in person. On t.v. she looks a lot better. I thought at first that that picture was of Jimmy Carter's face photoshopped to a bust of a 30 yr old woman.
