Bill Clinton Potrait

bobbyss

A portrait by a Northern Irish artist of Clinton was unveiled by the man himself. It's not absolutely clear what he thought of it but what did you think of it?

Outlaw Pete

It's aight.

Looks like Charlie Haughey with hair

ILoveYourVibes

It's very good.

I thought it made him look older and more haggard than he actually is.

Chicken George

I wouldn't say Bill liked that. It looks like he's on deaths door in it. A true reflection...
I look at the painting and imagine Bill saying:
"Well Hillary. I think I'll just climb into this wooden box here and be done with it".

Looks like he's patting Monica on her head.....

He looks like he's glaring at an intern's ar*se as she's using the photocopier.

Bill thinks to himself: "Dammit Bill you're fixing to get yourself in trouble again"

Did he charge much for this appearance?

No just the usual, 1 blowjob per hour.

It's beautifully painted, but it doesn't flatter him at all. It makes him look old and the looking downward makes him seem weak or timid - not very presidential.

Its an incredible portrait but it does make him look aged and weak. Who is the artist - supertalented and possibly a genius satarist.... like the days of old celtic harpists and wandering Irish bard poets who you wouldn't get on the wrong side of or they would immortalise you in an unpleasant but truthful light. This is no country for old men...Who wants to be old and haggard and weak

But that is how he looks. Its the artists impression of him. He can present any idea in any way he likes. The subject doesn't have to like it.

Plus it's weird but i noticed something with Clinton when he was no longer president ..he shrunk ....he seemed shorter ..less presence. I have no idea why.

Obama didn't he seems exactly the same.

In the second photo in the second post his shoulders are slumped and he looks very thin. He hasn't looked great for a while. the portrait is quite accurate.

Yes but this was just after his presidency that i noticed this. Just after actually when he still looked hale.

He lost the X factor?

Oh he has definitely lost that. Though he is 72.

He looks about 90 in the portrait, old and very frail. At the unveiling he was way fresher than his portrait showed him to be.

Ah not so bad then. I thought I heard he was known for charging large fees just for appearing. Though maybe it is only Charities and other Not For Profit groups he targets for that?

It might be an accurate reflection of his physical decline, but if I was painting him, I'd be trying to capture some of his personality and sparkle - a glint in his eye, or something. Unless he has lost he personality too - hopefully not.

I think I read somewhere he went vegan a few years back, so that might account for the weightloss.

I would speculate that the multitude of coronary problems which preceded the veganism was more likely the cause

Id agree tbh - yer man allegedly changed his diet (sic) around the time the Billionaire Stordalens (IYF animals rights / plant food activists) paid Bill Clinton 3.5m Norwegian Krone to speak at one of their conferences

Looks like he is doing little more the usual 'vegan' bandwagon thing tbh

There's sort of an orange tint to his skin recently. What's that about?

Not sure but I'd reckon from the colour of the nose he must be hitting the top shelf fairly regularly tbh ...

they've given him a nice whiskey nose anyway!

He visited the set of Willy Wonka recently and stole the everlasting knobsucker from an Oompa Loompa.

I think the artist used a picture of Clinton sleeping at George Bush's funeral as a guide:

Both Bill and Hilary Clinton are scum of the highest order.

It's an excellent painting but makes him look older and gives him more of a whiskey nose IMO.

Lol I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt but YURT but may I ask why you always seek me out - and no I didnt reply to your post - but no matter

'Obsessed' for sure. Just how many times have you made a comment into an ad hominem? 220? 541? As you seem confused what discussion is and just in case your going to ad hominem any one else who posts on the thread - here's something I've always found useful as a guide tbh - hope it helps with your confusion ...

Comment on the post not the poster.

Responding to someone's point with personal attacks, regardless of how "witty" you think they are, is not big or clever. It just comes across, at best, as being an ass and at worst a bully with a small doodah (we mean “mind” of course).

It’s much better to stay on the topic of their post, not on the person who posted it. People will respect you for that, take your opinion more seriously, and you put the ball back in their court to answer your points.

Abuse is tantamount to saying, "You have beaten me with your argument; I can only resort to name calling."

Precious Gozzie.

I heard there's some vegans gathering over in the fencing forum to discuss hummus recipes. They may or may not be enviro-communists as well.

Don't let it slip through your fingers.

Even more? Indeed unlike you I'm a regular contributor to the v&v forum where farming and that thing you hate 'meat' are regularly discussed as topics by lots of posters and quite civilised it is too. Funny that just a tiny bunch of IYF plant activists in AH dont like any discussion or others holding comments up to scrutiny. But hey there you go ...

Now before you derail yet another thread if you would like to actually discuss the comments regarding Bill Clinton then we can do that. Up to you ...

1.Someone mentions Bill is vegan in passing.

2. Gozzie goes off on one about vegans again.

3. Gozzie accuses other poster of thread derailment without any hint of irony.

The cycle is complete. Thread has been gozunda'd

He seems to have mellowed somewhat as well

In a comment about wider trends, he spoke of people being unmoored, grasping for a new identity, sometimes this can be very good but sometimes it can be quite destructive.

"I don't like living in an age of resentment and division, I like living in an age of possibility and hope and actually we are living in both, there's like this battle going on every day in countries all over the world," Mr Clinton said.

Looks like Wild Bill has a lot on his mind. A lot of guilt. Whether it be the Clinton Foundation or the social circles he runs with...

The world must be near its end when an art appreciation thread appears in After Hours...

It's a fine painting, showing his decline to a generally very positive Irish audience which is well aware of the enormous power he once had. Very humbling. The man is almost 73 and he is, as many people have pointed out, looking noticeably frailer these days.

I distinctly recall his election being a breath of fresh air in Ireland in the early 1990s. He was a very good friend to the Irish economy and he made a critical judgment call when he decided to back the Peace Process against enormous British lobbying. Hume at the time was enduring a barrage of abuse on a quotidian basis from O'Reilly's Independent rags, most notably the Sunday Independent. And when Clinton sided with Ted Kennedy, Bruce Morrison, Chris Dodd etc, and a number of wealthy Irish Americans - Chuck Feeney, Bill Flynn and Donald Keough spring immediately to mind - it tipped the balance enormously in favour of the Hume-Adams Agreement/Peace Process succeeding.

That Clinton's Republican opponents decided to focus on his sex life as the major stick to beat him showed them up to be backward little troglodytes. Surely they could have found something much more serious to base impeachment proceedings upon?
