This’ll be a great historical record after they’re all in trouble with the law. The aldermen, too.

If Ms. Apple is worth anything she will give the Wonkeratti the proper shout outs with effective use of Blingees and flaming bags of dicks. I will assume that’s what the ‘flaming piles’ is referencing.

Here’s hoping for at least one portrait in a messy medium…

The “old gray lady”, she aint what she used to be.

[re=525907]thesheriffisnear[/re]: I could’ve made a “Big Apple” reference but that would be plucking low hanging fruit, so to speak.

Didn’t the French critics initially react the same way when first shown Monet’s work? I say it’s a good sign.

Yay! My Wonkette haz famous artist!!! Now, when are Ken and Jim getting Pulitzers?

Actually, now that I’ve read the article, it sounds like an incredibly lame project. Not as lame as Larry King’s weiner, however.

The “old gray lady”, she aint what she used to be.

Be nice to Lauri.

That radio interview better contain the words “poop blog” or I’m going to stand up and shout SELLOUT!

President Beeblebrox March 7, 2010 at 3:13 pm

“The resulting portraits, which Ms. Apple said might be turned into a voting guide or possibly a deck of playing cards, are intended to remind voters that aldermen are people.”

So are pedophiles and career criminals…

Let them then praise quasi-famous men.

Also, what’s the excuse for the cyan background? Ugly.

Mayor Daley bans hand guns and anything from New Yawk.

Especially, “art.”

Ms. Apple should para shoot into Madison where she’ll fit right in.

Cool! Congratulations Lauri! Here’s to hysteria on a grand scale.

Anybody with a title banner with Iron Maiden font is down with El Pinche San.

As long as she’s getting paid.

I like the promise that they’ll hang everybody.

Bruno March 7, 2010 at 7:12 pm

Laurie, please price all of your origials well above $50k. You deserve it. Wish I could be there in a black turtleneck to talk about the greatness of your work and lead you to more profit

Go artists! Congrats, Lauri!

Which two aldermen are portrayed shitting out Rod Blagojevich? The first worked to slate RodR as a candidate and the second flushed him as an incumbent. Maybe a third got him a spot on “The View”.

Monsieur Grumpe March 8, 2010 at 9:12 am

“We’re not going to censor anybody.”
I would take that as a challenge.

and

All right Lauri wooooohoooo!

JadedDIssonance March 8, 2010 at 10:19 am
