GOP Rep hates art

"Among the perks of public office include a fancy oil painting that will hang for eternity in some government building somewhere.

Rep. Bill Cassidy wants to change that.

The Louisiana Republican is going after oil paintings in an effort to trim the federal budget."

Way to embrace that ignorant, southern hick stereotype, Bill.

I wonder what "important" give away to Corporate America he did vote for?
