NY Public Library Exhibit Features Fake Mug Shots of Bush Administration
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 02:01 PM by SoCalDem

Fake mug shots of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other White House officials are on display at the main branch of the New York City Public Library, and the exhibit has caused quite a commotion.

About six manipulated photographs of members of the Bush administration made to look like mug shots are lining one of the landmark building's hallways, with each current and former official holding a D.C. police date-of-arrest placard bearing the date they made "incriminating" statements about the war in Iraq, The New York Daily News reported.

In addition to Bush and Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld are also pictured.
"It's hysterical," the Daily News quoted vistor Bennett Graff of New Haven, Conn., as saying. "It's kind of bold, to say the least."

Strifler and his brother complained to library officials about "Line Up" and told the Daily News that they're going to set up an alternate gallery of Democrats' phony mug shots that will include former President Bill Clinton, former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy.
