Welcome to a very special guest post by long-time Wonkette reader "Doktor Zoom." Enjoy! So, you know that painting by David Bugnon of Dead Guy Andrew Breitbart as a Teutonic Knight in Heaven, ready to take on commies, liberal scumbags, and innocent Department of Agriculture employees from beyond the grave? You know, the painting that one actual professional art critic called a "masterpiece of Outsider art, a veritable holocaust-tsunami of bad taste?" The painting that
IAAL, and much as I'd love to see the Patriot Depot douches hauled into court, I very much doubt the damages would be worth the attorney time. (Unlike in the U.K., it's hard to get your attorney costs covered by the other side.) I doubt they were able to peddle much of the merchandise - especially the $4k "painting"- to the trucknutz/numbnutz demographic they're exploiting.
He may have realized that 90% of his "art" is asking for lawsuits ... and maybe with the rubes clued in to the $100 cost of his $4,000 inkjet "paintings", he realized that his scam was over and done with. And then theres the fact that this story is rapidly going viral, promising to make him the laughing stock of the entire intertubes. (Google "bugnon breitbart" to see how fast this thing is snowballing.)
In any event, a victory for the good guys ... even if it's only witless teabaggers who will benefit from our efforts. I will patiently await their expressions of gratitude.
Oh, and we may have started <a href="http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/7Pr6V.jpg" target="_blank">a new meme. </a>
For extra lulz (or horror), scroll down to the early comments on that <a href="http:\/\/patriotupdate.com\/articles\/the-breitbart-painting-i-am-compelled-to-fight" target="_blank">Patriot Update</a> page. There are some serious psychoses on display there.

YES!!!!
Making Bitpart&#039;s admittedly fat head 20% bigger than the original character&#039;s whole fucking helmet may have something to do with it.
Fixed that, didn't you now?
Wonkette, Y U NO let me post comments anymore?
So that painting is as phony as a James O&#039;Keefe video?
I like the rooster better.

Might be worth using this link in the article, so folks can still enjoy the BlightArt in all its glory.
Which reminds me - did you notice the &copy;2012 at the end of my post on the Patriot Depot page?
It&#039;s the goldfish shoes! Although BrightFart would probably have insisted on pirhanas.
Even Kincaide wouldn&#039;t stoop this low! Though the arms probably would have been even more fucked up
