\"\"RUSH: Brian, throw this on the switcher. Social media is having the greatest time with the portraits of Barack Hussein O and Michelle (My Belle) O. And I just want to show you one example. The Obama portrait interestingly is getting more heat than the Michelle portrait because of the “what is it” factor.<\/p>\n

What are these two trying to do? It\u2019s obvious these two portraits are not gonna look like any other portrait anywhere, and that\u2019s probably one of the objectives. But I think there are other components here.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019ve just flashed up on the Dittocam<\/a> is one sample of many satires and parodies of the portrait that are out there on social media. And this one over two-thirds of the Obama portrait is obscured by the American flag, which is encroaching on it from the left, and it is in the process of eliminating Obama from his own portrait.<\/p>\n

Standing in front of the flag is Donald Trump as an exterminator. And he is spraying pesticides on the Obama portrait. And this is done to create the impression that America is getting rid of pests and that Trump is the guy doing it. And it works because Obama\u2019s sitting there on this chair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, by the way, everybody now says he looks like he\u2019s sitting on the toilet. I didn\u2019t want to say that yesterday. I have a modicum of respect for the orifice. I didn\u2019t want to say that, but it\u2019s all over every place now that Obama looks. Why would he do it? He\u2019s also got six fingers on his left hand, and I pointed out how gigantic these hands are. Look how long those fingers are, and you know why that is. (interruption) Well, you… (interruption) Of course, you know why that is. That is… (interruption) That is a direct… (interruption)<\/p>\n

\"\"That is the artiste responding to the rumors that Trump has tiny hands, and when you have tiny hands, it means that you have a tiny member. (For those of you in Rio Linda, ask your parents.) So what they\u2019re trying to do here is say that Obama\u2019s got one hell of a package and Trump doesn\u2019t. That\u2019s what the size of those hands is supposed to mean by that artist. He\u2019s sitting there, as some people say, and that portrait is Obama telling the world that he smoked weed while at the Ivy League. The artist says, “No, no, no, no, no.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s simply President Obama surrounded by native growth from places he has lived and where he was born. Hawaii, Chicago (the ivy on Wrigley Field), and then, of course, Kenya.” There\u2019s some stuff there. But if you look at right hand as you\u2019re looking at the picture, Obama\u2019s right leg (as he\u2019s sitting there, it\u2019s his left leg) if you look at the leaves, the ivy, whatever it is — covering up his ankle and shoe, it… it… Uh, I don\u2019t know. It doesn\u2019t work. And then we found out that this artist has an identity. Did you know this? This artist… (interruption)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not making this up. This artist\u2019s identity — what he\u2019s known for — is painting pictures\/portraits of African-American women holding beheaded scalps of white women. That\u2019s what he is, quote, unquote, known for. We had a caller yesterday that had mentioned this<\/a>. I said, “Well, fascinating here.” But that\u2019s who was chosen, and it\u2019s… (interruption) Yeah. There\u2019s the real portrait. Put the real portrait up there. We put the real portrait in the switcher, for those of you watching the Dittocam. There\u2019s the real portrait. He\u2019s got a…<\/p>\n

On his left hand, by the way, he\u2019s got a fifth finger. He\u2019s got an extra ring finger and his little finger, you can\u2019t quite see it. But there\u2019s an extra finger on that left hand as you\u2019re… (interruption) He\u2019s big, really big — so big you need an extra finger in there on the hand. No tie. He\u2019s sitting in ways that women now complain as… What is it, man…? (interruption) “Manspreading.” Right. I get that confused with “mansplaining,” manspreading. Now, throw up the pesticide satire version, and that\u2019s just one of many examples going around.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Time now to go back to the Dittocam. I\u2019ve been waiting for the correct time. We have the pictures — I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m sorry — the portraiture of Kehinde Wiley and two of his greatest works before the official unveiling of the portrait of Obama in the ivy yesterday. I mentioned to you that Kehinde Wiley is known for, he has a style, folks, and it features black women, African-American women holding the heads of beheaded white women. Holding the hair. And we\u2019re gonna flash a couple of them here on the Dittocam. Here\u2019s the first one.<\/p>\n

Now, again, you notice, for those of you watching on the Dittocam<\/a>, notice all the floral activity going on behind that woman. Well, you have to look here to the left side. Follow that model\u2019s left arm all the way out, and you will see in her hand is the beheaded head of a white woman. And this is a portrait — I don\u2019t know who the women is, either of the women. I don\u2019t know who the beheaded babe was, and I don\u2019t know who the African-American babe in the painting is.<\/p>\n

But this woman\u2019s standing, you know, in a bunch of flowers like Obama\u2019s throne is sitting in a bunch of flowers. There\u2019s one more that\u2019s easier to see, still has a floral background, but it\u2019s not as busy so this work of art is easier to see. There again an angry African-American woman gallantly, defiantly holding the head of a beheaded white woman.<\/p>\n

Now, we had a call from Kansas, an art expert who said that this kind of work was on display in Kansas City, that they\u2019ve seen it. I\u2019m by no means equipped to analyze this. All I can tell you is that just like that Andres Serrano Piss Christ piece of art, this is heralded as great. Okay. I\u2019m not being profane. There\u2019s actually a work of art that goes back to the nineties by a photographer, Andres Serrano. He submerged a crucifix in a jar of urine and called it Piss Christ.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was on display in New York museums, and it was heralded as one of the greatest interpretative pieces of art ever. And it was just junk. But we were told we didn\u2019t have the sophistication to understand what the artiste was trying to say.<\/p>\n

And I guess the same thing here. I don\u2019t have the sophistication to understand what is the social message. (interruption) Well, I see the artist\u2019s anger. Well, yeah, I guess there\u2019d be some anger if you\u2019re beheading people and drawing pictures of it. Anyway, that\u2019s the artiste who painted the Obama portrait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
