More on that "art exhibit" threatening the President
Say Anything has an update to the story Tuesday in which we linked to an “art exhibit” in Chicago that depicted a postage stamp of a gun being pointed at President Bush’s head; it seems that the curator of the exhibit is frightened by all of the Secret Service attention this has drawn:
The exhibit’s curator, Michael Hernandez de Luna, said the inquiry “frightens” him.
“It starts questioning all rights, not only my rights or the artists’ rights in this room, but questioning the rights of any artist who creates — any writer, any visual artist, any performance artist. It seems like we’re being watched,” he said.
Once upon a time, guys like this would be hauled off to prison, no questions asked. It is a federal felony offense to threaten the life of a President. I'd be frightened too if I were responsible for this outrage.
