http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/05/11/chimp.modernart.ap/index.html

Being able to create art requires that you have a soul ;-)

1. Yikes, at first I was shocked and surprised to think Bush did art...
but it all made much more sense to see that Congo is the artist. I am more inclined to believe he has a soul then *.

5. So Hitler is one up on Bush?
Hitler also wrote a book. Multimedia, he is.

To be fair, Bush has had books written about him.

6. That is not art. That's scribble from a wide paint brush. Okay, in honesty


It's actually a lovely story, that... convincing, even. But will the chimp get to spend that $1500-per-painting? I doubt it, somehow. He's too intelligent to understand money.

7. Your sig pic proves that animals have a great sense of beauty and taste
I cracked up when I saw that earlier today. It may be as close to "Piss Bush" as the NEA will allow, but I'd buy that smelly sign as art.

Doggie dadaism. I like it.

8. Kick, sorry, it's funny that a chimp is more artistically inclined
than Bush.

I tend to measure people through their sense of beauty and perspective. Bush and friends don't even rate.
