Art critic calls Fox News "sexually sick" for blurring out breasts on famous Picasso painting.

Courtesy of The Sydney Morning Herald:  

A leading US art critic has blasted a Fox news station for being "sexually sick" after the network blurred out the breasts on Pablo Picasso's The Women of Algiers (Version O) in a report about the masterpiece selling for a record-breaking $US179million ($227million) in New York on Monday. 

The New York magazine senior art critic Jerry Saltz took to Twitter to voice his disapproval, tweeting: "How sexually sick are conservatives & Fox News? They blurred parts of the Picasso painting #SickMinds." 

His consternation was echoed across various other Twitter users, who labelled the move "bizarre" and "pathetic", with one user including the hashtag #freethenipple, referencing the recent campaign against censorship of the female form. 

Here is the un-blurred versing of the painting.

Oh my god it's...it's...it's...well it's really nothing.

And remember this is the same network that regularly covers spring break so that they can show scantily clad women twerking, and once had a guest declare that women who are victimized by upskirt photos were asking for it.

Not only that but the female hosts on the various shows are famous for wearing short dresses and revealing enough decolletage to embarrass a Las Vegas showgirl.

Oh yeah Fox News should be the ones judging what is, or is not, prurient.

And what the hell is it about nipples that makes THEM the part of the breast that must not see the light of day?

This has bothered me for years.

It's just stupid.

Sarah Palin from today's big Old McDonald speech in South Dakota.

Hmm, it looks like somebody forgot to pack her two biggest talking points.

Here is her tweet after she finished her speech:

I was honored to attend a great event today in South Dakota with farmers from all over the country. I’m heading... http://t.co/iY74WKABLo

And here is the Facebook post it links to:

I was honored to attend a great event today in South Dakota with farmers from all over the country. I’m heading home now, but just wanted to encourage you to tune into Greta Van Susteren's “On the Record” tonight. She’ll be showing a video of one of the four victims killed in Benghazi. So often people in these tragic events become just statistics, but they deserve more. The video really humanizes one of them. He was a real person, not a nameless statistic.

Yep typical Palin. "Great event," heading home," "Benghazi!!!"

Update:

 "Whee, I'm on a ride!"

Sarah Palin's next speaking gig is all about farming. Wait, what am I reading?

Here is what is says about the Ag PhD Field Day at its website: 

We invite you to join us for a free Ag PhD Field Day on our farm near Baltic, SD on Thursday, July 25th from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.! Our goal with the Field Day is to create a one-day event where you can learn more about how to raise better crops by hearing from a host of expert guest speakers, seeing new technologies in the field, participating in hands-on demonstrations, and visiting with other top farmers from around the country.

And they invited Sarah Palin to be a "featured speaker" why?

Here is a list of others who are also speaking:

• Guest speakers including Sarah Palin 
• Corn Panel featuring Darren Hefty & several high-yield corn farmers 
• Soybean Panel featuring Brian Hefty & several high-yield soybean farmers 
• Wheat Panel featuring Rob Fritz, Phil Needham, & high-yield wheat farmers 
• Estate Planning with one of the top estate lawyers in the country 
• Drainage Law with one of the best drainage lawyers in the country 
• Grain marketing sessions with grain marketing experts 
• Crop insurance sessions 
• Live Ag PhD Radio Show with Brian & Darren 
• Speakers on irrigation & drainage through tile lines plus a live tiling demo and a lift station 
• Brian & Darren give their evaluations on the field plots 
• A special Brian vs. Darren field day section with corn, soybeans, and wheat

Okay, so WHY is Sarah Palin speaking at this again? And WHAT could she possibly say?

I mean is she going to blame the poor crops on Obamacare?

Is she going to support the farm subsidies while condemning the President's "socialist agenda?"

I really don't get it. After all this woman's whole mythology is based on killing animals for meat, NOT growing vegetables for healthy eating.

But perhaps the reason they invited her was to find out HOW she took such a barren, lifeless, and infertile area as this:

And managed to grow these:

Only reason I can think of.

OMGD, y'all! That book by Sarah Palin that did not sell in hardback is now ready to flop as a paperback too!

Courtesy of Arizona's own snooty snowbird's Facebook page:

 “America by Heart” is back! I’m very excited that HarperCollins has released “America By Heart” this month in paperback. I hope you’ll enjoy the changes and the new cover photo showing an iconic day of riding at the Reagan Ranch. It was such an honor to experience President Reagan’s beautiful ranch and then speak later that day at the Young America’s Foundation’s 100th anniversary celebration of President Reagan’s birthday.

(What? NO photo-op with Nancy Reagan? How odd! Gee I wonder if that could be for the same reason that Margaret Thatcher snubbed her loser ass?)

I love the outdoor image for “America By Heart” because the book reflects the values that President Reagan held dear. I explain in my book my decision to use a quote from Reagan as my closing statement during the 2008 vice-presidential debate because his words perfectly expressed our need to preserve and protect the values that made America great. It’s why we won’t give up the fight for what is right. (Isn't necrophilia still illegal in this country?)

The quote I used in the debate against Joe Biden was this: 

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the blood-stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.” (Yes except when Reagan said this he was talking about fighting it out during elections, NOT threatening to start a civil war because there was a black man in the White House. Big difference.)

“America By Heart” was written from my heart (Apparently here the word "heart" refers to the numerous previously written books she had her ghostwriter steal almost ALL of this book's contents from.) about “the principles that have made our country great—keeping our government limited, our markets free, and our families strong.” And, as I note in my introduction, “these principles, like all fundamental human truths, are not self-reinforcing. They have to be remembered, cherished, and taught to new generations of Americans.” 

I do hope you’ll enjoy the encouragement and historical lessons the book provides. Keep the faith! 

- Sarah Palin

The "historical lessons?" I do not think I would take too many historical lessons from a woman who once claimed that Paul Revere "warned the British that they would not be taking our guns by ringing bells" But then being a liberal I'm just a stickler for those silly facts.

So yeah this is just the same shit, different day.

Speaking of different day, did ANYBODY else notice something missing from the book's cover?

Here take a better look.

 I will give you two hints, and the first one starts with boobs.

Yeah like wearing a down vest is adequate in hiding the fact that the Belmont girls got left behind that trip.

You see this is the kind of overconfidence you get when you fool people into thinking you were pregnant by using a square pillow.

You see nobody is willing to buy your ghostwritten books anymore, and nobody is willing to buy your phony bullshit anymore.

Especially when they can still find hard copies of the book in a bargain bin marked down to $1.99 right next to your what's left of your tattered and faded political career. (Correction: Apparently the hardcover of America by Heart is available fro 95 cents. Sorry for the exaggeration.)

I don't know where this came from, but it MUST be shared.

Yet another indication that Sarah Palin will NEVER be taken seriously agian.

S. P. Bra, named after a certain politician. It's pretty, it works hard, separates the left from the right and moves the masses. Not bad for a bra. The S. P. is our go to everyday bra. Good for hunting, boating, public speaking and basically going rogue. Softy contoured cup for modesty and shaping. Jacquard textured fabric with mesh band. Underwire. 32-36 B-D

This is an actual advertisement for a bra sold by an online company called Bounce.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with a company marketing a line of clothing with a certain type of customer in mind.  Happens all of the time

However the addition of the phrase "separates the left from the right and moves the masses" certainly makes it appear that they are poking more than a little fun at Snowdrift Snooki.

In my opinion, and people are certainly welcome to disagree with me on this, when a company selling bras feels that it is open season for mocking you, that is a pretty clear indication that nobody views you as somebody they see in a leadership position.

Gee I wonder why when the executives of this company thought of Sarah Palin it immediately took their mind to the subject of "boobs?"

Could it be because of these boobs?

Or perhaps it was these boobs?

Well at least that second set of boobs aren't completely fake. Well I guess that is not entirely true, now is it?
