You may recall that in late March, Sean Hannity was so taken with painter Jon McNaughton's series of anti-Obama paintings that he announced on the air he was going to buy one, try to loan it to a museum and then attack the institution as biased if it refused to accept it. Unfortunately for Hannity, Stephen Colbert may have put a wrinkle into that plan. Not only did he mock Hannity but he eviscerated the paintings. I think it's safe to say that no museum board need fear rejecting any of them now. (H/T Crooks and Liars) UPDATED

Calling Jon McNaughton a “painter” is an insult to the great painters of our nation.
Rupert Murdoch employee High End Hannocchio can hire him to paint his sea-front mansion.

Every time I see McNaughton’s paintings, I’m reminded of C.M. Coolidge’s “Dogs Playing Poker” series.
In ten years, McNaughton’s works will be available at thrift stores for $9.99 . . .

Um, I don’t get Hannity’s “plan.” The last time I checked, museums are under NO obligation to exhibit any painting, especially by a relatively obscure propagandist.
