Predictable

New York authorities have shut down an art exhibit entitled "The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama.” The police commissioner, when asked about the legal grounds for this action, said: "Our lawyers are researching it and will determine if there are any violations of law; right now [the artist] is being questioned.” So there you have it.

When I first heard the title I was shocked that an artist would deal with these two in such a manner, since assassination art is normally associated with President Bush. But as the artist explained: "It’s about character assassination—about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.” So there you have it, again.
