What's wrong with this picture?

[Bucky]

Examine the following picture. Dwell on it. Then tell me what's wrong with it?



example: "There's a Republican card game going on, yet somehow Warren Harding isn't passing bootleg hooch around the table.

[AlCzervik]

1. Ike is wearing pleats.

41, does he really strike you as a guy that ever played cards with the boys? Gerald Ford is looking at Lincolns cards.

[GOPisEvil]

2. What? No Hoover or Coolidge?

[AlCzervik]

5. they don't like to talk about Hoover.

just like they won't talk about Bush 43, he'll be photoshopped out of everything. Time stopped at Reagen for the gop.

[Auggie]

19. But they include Nixon?

Someone is seriously fucked-up

[Xipe Totec]

3. Ike is laughing at Lincon's joke

Abe just said:

"If I'd been alive when you were president..."

[FloridaJudy]

4. They're all laughing.

...and when a bunch of Republicans are that happy, it's bad news for the rest of us.

[Deja Q]

6. There are no slaves bringing them their beverages? No flames from Hell, perhaps?

Let's be thankful that the one that almost looks like Abe Lincoln has his profile so incognito that it could be any other republicant...

"Party of Lincoln", my anus.

[Deja Q]

10. That's not Lincoln. That's Hitler before he shaved his beard to the lame mini-mustache.

[flvegan]

7. Lincoln isn't pummeling the shit out of W.

[Deja Q]

8. The one with the appearance of Lincoln's visage appears to be covertly passing gas

That can NOT be Lincoln.

[FloridaJudy]

13. If I were Lincoln

And stuck in that crowd, I'd fart too.

[Deja Q]

14. Dang, you're right.

:evilgrin:

[Maraya1969]

27. He's passing gas toward Bush 1 . Perfectly acceptable, even encouraged.

[Auggie]

9. On edit -- I despise the idea of including Lincoln with a group of liars,

war criminals, perjurers, murderers, and frauds.

Yeah -- that's what's wrong with the picture.

[GOPisEvil]

11. I don't see any spy equipment...

I mean, Tricky Dick is there...

[Deja Q]

12. That's not Dickless Trick, that's Mitt Romney!

Has too much hair and is too thin to be Nicked Dicky!

[limit18]

15. Bush is not drunk and dancing on the table.

[rurallib]

16. Each one has 5 aces. And W promised each a huge pot for doing nothing.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. Reagan isn't shitting himself...

Or is he?

[ogneopasno]

18. Reagan's not wearing a wedding ring and they appear to be at the Dutch national convention.

Judging from the flag in the background, I mean.

[HughBeaumont]

20. There's three Republicans at that table.

The rest are proto-fascist motherfuckers who needed to spend time in dungeons and not be fed. Especially the three uber-corrupt country-destroyers at the left who are stenching that table up with their devil reek.

[hippywife]

24. I was going to say something along those lines.

Four Repubs and four outright criminals.

[Maraya1969]

21. W looks sober

[Sanity Claws]

22. They never smiled like that

* isn't smirking.
Nixon NEVER had a full genuine smile like that.

[femmocrat]

23. Except for the subject matter, it's really a well-composed painting.

The portraits are quite good, although somewhat idealized. I especially like TR.

Not so sure about Ike's belt. It looks like Native American beading, but I can't tell for sure. And Lincoln does look out of place with those 20th century guys.

[ogneopasno]

25. I have to say I agree with you. I find it fascinating, in a way. The expressions are real enough

-- not for the people themselves, but they look friendly and funny. And yeah, the belt caught my eye too.

[OmahaBlueDog]

26. Problem 1 - You are looking at the wrong picture

[femmocrat]

29. Wow!

This must be what it looks like in Democratic Heaven!

My god, is JFK handsome in that portrait! Love Truman in his tropical shirt! :)

[rockymountaindem]

34. When you think of it, that picture is probably just as incongruous as the Republican one

For starters, JFK and LBJ didn't like each other, and Wilson probably wouldn't be at the same table with the likes of those two anyway, seeing as how Kennedy and Johnson actually worked to *empower* minorities rather than fire them from the government bureaucracy.

[OmahaBlueDog]

36. More to the point, Carter wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes playing poker with those guys

I still like the picture.

[Justyce]

35. Ahhh, much better! nt

[Odin2005]

44. Awesome pic! I like Truman's shirt, and FDR's expression makes me LOL!!!

[GReedDiamond]

57. Mistaken..

Self delete.

[SoxFan]

46. Harry's shirt is rockin'!

[EastTennesseeDem]

28. There's nothing wrong with it

They're all laughing at Lincoln because he's telling them about being principled.

[OmahaBlueDog]

30. Problem 2- You are still looking at the wrong picture

[alphafemale]

55. Wow. I see Lincoln, Martin and Rosa. Wait Frederick Douglas...JFK

I really like that.

Thanks for posting.

:yourock:

[keroro gunsou]

31. what's wrong is

lincoln, ike, and teddy not beating the shit out of the rest of the players with clubs.

[bluesbassman]

32. Bush the Lesser doesn't have his hands in Reagan or Ike's pockets.

Fucking thief.:grr:

[XemaSab]

33. Nixon is part of the group?

:scared:

[amitten]

37. Who the hell painted this...? n/t

[OmahaBlueDog]

48. If you're referring to the pic in the OP, it's "Grand Old Gang" by Andy Thomas

Andy also painted Democratic Presidents playing poker (see my post upthread "You're looking at the wrong picture") entitled "True Blues"

Andy also painted a fantasy pic of Barack Obama taking office called "Change" (I posted that in another entry upthread). In "Change", the trick is not to look at Obama, but to look at the faces in the crowd, which include (but are not limited to) FDR, LBJ, Rosa Parks, Barbara Jordan, and Abe Lincoln.

[timtom]

38. I was wrong.

Never mind.

[Auggie]

39. Problem 3- You are still looking at the wrong picture

[dixiegrrrrl]

51. I see one yellow dog, one blue dog, and a pack of curs.

[sakabatou]

40. GWB is the only one not actually elected

[Orrex]

41. I can't imagine that Lincoln would sit with his back to *anyone*

At least not since, well, you know...

[cherish44]

42. Did Eisenhower really have man boobs?

And why are Republicans being shown drinking, smoking and gambling? Would Jesus approve?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. Where the hell is Teddy's big stick?

He ought to be whomping the hell out of the corporate dildos.

[Bucky]

52. I think you know perfectly well where it is

In his defense, Lincoln was a corporate dildo who also looked out for the little guy.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

56. Fortunately, Lincoln remembered what it felt like

to be the little guy.

[Odin2005]

45. Lincoln, Teddy, and Ike would not be shmoozing with those fucks.

Though I like Ike's belly laugh!

[Xipe Totec]

47. Lincoln is telling Dubya: Would you like some tickets to the Ford Theater?

[surrealAmerican]

49. It's pretty hard to imagine TR would find these people funny.

He'd be more likely to be punching Nixon than laughing with him. Also Ford is cheating by looking at Lincoln's cards.

[liberaltrucker]

50. GHWB is tipping his hand?

:shrug:

[jmowreader]

53. All the things that are wrong with this picture

1. Draw a line extending from Lincoln's left shoulder to Eisenhower's right. All the Republicans to the right of that line are not currently beating the shit out of the felons to the left of it.

2. The golf clubs in this picture are in a bag, not wrapped around Dubya's neck.

3. Bush's wristwatch does not have Mickey Mouse on it. (In the third painting in this series, I'm going to Disneyland!, Mickey Mouse's watch DOES have George W. Bush on it.)

4. Yellow stripe on object in the background--is that a stage?--is misplaced: it is supposed to run down the center of Dubya's AWOL back.

5. Decorated hero of World War II standing next to a draft dodger with a smile on his face? I don't think so.

6. Gerald Ford's pipe actually packed with weed. It's the only way he can stand to be within a thousand feet of Ronald Reagan.

7. Dubya doesn't have a drink as there's no bottle of cheap tequila on the table.

8. Reagan's bowl of jellybeans is as integrated as his Cabinet was: not one black in either of them.

9. Reagan, Bush and Nixon all holding the ace of spades. Nixon was actually dealt it.

10. Why is Nixon smiling? Because Roosevelt just asked him, "how's it feel to no longer be the most corrupt piece of shit ever to soil the White House?"

[jellen]

54. what's wrong?

two are alive.

[Lethe]

58. Teddy

shouldn't be in that pic

[nadine_mn]

59. Lincoln still has the back of his head?

Oh sorry that as a bit morbid

carry on
