Ironically, after seeing the Bush paintings, we, too, are taking a shower.

If Bush's bathtub painting isn't in the next Documenta, I owe you a Coke.

The George W Bush painting is just too good. I couldn't be prouder of America having elected a kindergartner president twice. #USA #NEA

#PRT Like Bush, if I retire I may also start painting half nude portraits of myself. So I just won the argument for never retiring. #Bahrain

Bush 43's self-paintings reveal less about him than that world leaders are, after all, human like the rest of us: http://t.co/TMprITos

I meant to say: The George W. Bush shower painting is the Las Meninas of the Terrorism Era.

Not surprised that George W. Bush likes to paint. As President, he kept painting the country into a corner.

What I like best about George W. Bush's shower painting is it looks like a Criterion cover for a Wes Anderson movie.

And from our Facebook and blogazine comments:
- “Trolling is an art. W’s presidency was a performance piece but now he’s an outsider artist.” —uffthefluff
- “Obviously Bush feels like he’s dirty and needs to cleanse himself… maybe of the blood of Iraqi children?” —Bob Bruno
- “P.S. George W. is a far better painter than Hitler.” —Gerry Visco
- “DubyaTF?” —Eugene Ratigliano
- “The ex-emperor has no clothes.” —Lola Scarpitta
- “I feel like this is violating his privacy. Sorry, but private emails of former President is not for public consumption. And no I am not a fan of Bush W.” —Suzanne Louise
- “Is this what is called ‘outsider art?'” —Geoff Bush
And for the meme-inclined. Ryder Ripps has created an overlay for your to take a photo of yourself peering into Bush’s tub. Creepy? Yes.
