Note:
Washington artist Kayti Didriksen's painting 'Man of Leisure, King George' depicts President Bush in the well-known style of Manet's 'Olympia', as he is presented with his crown by a depiction of Vice President Dick Cheney. The cartoonish painting has been taken down from the wall at the City Museum of Washington, awaiting a more welcoming venue. (AP Photo/Artomatic, Jim Tretick)

5. Lets hope they don't rework Coubert's "Origin Of The World"...
Lets hope the artist doesn't rework Gustave Coubert's "Origin Of The World" in Bush's image!! That would be truly scary.

It could be aptly and simply titled "Bush" though. If you're not familiar with the painting, which hangs in the Musee Orsay in Paris, click the link below:
