Not that the portrait is a bad likeness; in fact, it even rather brilliantly manages to convey her approach to regulating the private sector…
Still, why not just take a photo, frame it and hang it up in some Gallery of Soon-To-Be-Forgotten Bureaucrats? Although I have to question why we even need a photo; anybody who wants to see what she looks like can just Google “Lisa Jackson/secret email accounts” and, most of the time, get an article that features her picture.
The expression, "she's no oil painting" comes to mind.
ReplyDeletePaint her in prison stripes. That would suit me.
ReplyDeleteAh, "Kronos Devouring His Young", one of the "Black Paintings" by Goya.

ReplyDeleteNow, if Obama didn't "feel" the need for a food taster.... What's the salary for a Imperial Food Taster? I'd apply but I'm not fond of arugula. Oh, and that little fact of being a Conservative Republican.
Shouldn't her portrait be delayed by 3-15 years so they could do an environmental impact study?
ReplyDeleteDoes her alias Richard Windsor get a portrait too? It'd be basically the same as the official portrait but with her wearing a fake mustache and a sombrero.
Say, as I recall, Paco works for the Feds… to find his official portrait we'll look for the painting of a guy in a fedora and dark sunglasses holding a slurpee and a 45.
Colonel: Excellent point about the environmental impact study.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I believe there is an official photo of me somewhere; as I recall, it's pretty awful: it looks like a mug shot after a DUI arrest.
