I don’t want to go all word off on a certain Mr. Robert Hurt from By-God Texas because I have once again been inspired, the hot ladies from Awesome Shoes of Power have reappeared especially for him and I’m taking on the entire state of dippin’ ropin’ tittie-fearing Churchies..
Why?
This douchebag GOP scrotum apparently visited Washington, D.C. and had this VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS to bring to the attention of By-God Texans:
“Nude women, sculptured women,” [Robert Hurt] told the state Republican platform committee, which sat in rapt attention.
Of all the evils in Washington that the Texas GOP took aim at this week, removing art with naked people from public view was high on the list for Mr. Hurt, a delegate from Kerrville.
“You don’t have nude art on your front porch,” he explained. “You possibly don’t have nude art in your living rooms. So why is it important to have that in the common places of Washington, D.C.?”
Mr. Hurt offered statistics:
He’d heard that 20 percent of the art in the National Gallery of Art is of nudes.
He offered detail:
On Arlington Memorial Bridge overlooking the famed national cemetery, “there are two Lady Godivas, two women on horses with no shirt on and long hair.”

Robert Hurt hasn’t seen anything yet.
p.s. this took me 5 minutes.
Come on, Texas ex-pats. I have a baboon pooping on your flag. Get angry.
June 16, 2008 at 5:07 pmWow, another score for texas.
June 16, 2008 at 5:09 pmyou should have been featured at artomatic, michael. you’ve got major skillz.
and i completely agree with this guy. i mean, nudity, it’s indecent, all the time. the human body is sacred and should never be seen, ever. everything about nudity in art is unwholesome! godamit!
to resolve this problem, i say just chip away the nipples on all sculptures, and put pasties on paintings. done and done.
June 16, 2008 at 5:22 pmAmanda, you’re preaching to the choir about Artomatic. I sat by my phone for months waiting for a call that never came.

it’s not just Texas. remember when Ashcroft covered the statue of Justice so that he wouldn’t have to be photographed with naked statue boobies?
