Sorry can't PIP

Intentional white washing? So odd

The artist really nailed his smile, though.

WTH?!

It's interesting you say whitewashing.  I posted an article about how he willfully and knowingly lied about the entirely fabricated Muslim-only zones around Europe.  The author suggested he was, in part, lying to distance himself from brown people so the GOP's racist base members might forget about his brown-ness if they think he also hates Muslims like they do.

Huh.

Yeah, i really wonder what he thinks. Did he tell them to make the picture lighter. Or was he annoyed? I wonder if he will comment or get a different picture now

Obvious egregious whitewashing aside, that looks like a middle school art class project. But worse.

Sorry.  I take issue with this.  It's not different from people insisting on calling the president "Barry" or "Barack Hussein".  He goes by "Bobby".  Why can't there be respect for that?




......as to the portrait.  It's just....weird.  I remembered the article NewOrleans posted.  Her theory seems on the mark to me.

Awesomely Luvvie is killing me right now on this portrait:

"LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!! Who switched Bobby Jindal with Rand Paul, because the devil is indeed a bold-faced ass lie! The man in that painting on the left is not no damb Bobby! I refuse it. I rebuke it. I reject it.



The man in that painting is white. Why do they have him outchea looking like Ray Romano? Everybody might love Ray but people ain’t here for Bobby like this."

The link says the whitewashed 7th grade art project one was painted by a constituent and gifted to Jindal. But it's not the official picture.

This one is



It's still kind of light though.

[starlily]

I think it was intentional ... at Jindal's request.



I've already seen myself to the corner from saying this earlier today.

[pixy0stix]

Race baiting, whee!

So we now know that it's not official. The official one isn't that bad really.

Also. Never forget.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Why did they have to do Kate like that? Whyeeeeee???

The official portrait still looks a wee bit pale. But at least it doesn't look like a finger painting.
