That's Senator Clinton at left and General Washington at right. I oppose double standards & stuff, and I know Hillary wants Washington's old job... and yet I feel there's something wrong here. Or is it just me?

1. Well, for starters, she has no nipples.
I think it would be less weird if she had nipples. Still weird, but less weird.

2. Well, American politicians aren't typically depicted NAKED.
What weirdo made these things?

These busts couldn't have been rendered clothed???

5. Actually, if you look closely she is clothed.
Unless she naturally has lacy nipple-free breasts.

3. Doesn't look like her
I would not look at that bust and recognize Hillary. And that is just the face.

4. It's a double standard unless we see Washington's man boobs

I want to see Founding Founder nipples, for crying out loud.

(Interesting. There is no appropriate smiley available that would denote the Founding Father's man boobs).

6. Why is it
that George's face is depicted as relatively smooth yet the sculptor made Hillary look positively ragged?

8. Wasn't that made by the same guy who did the Britney Spears
giving birth statue? I thought it was supposed to be a joke (or at least not meant to be taken entirely seriously).
