The art: Andy Warhol, Vote McGovern, 1972.
The news: “Political Class Clowns,” by Timothy Egan for the New York Times. From Egan’s essay: “The clowns have finally taken over the circus, and I mean this with all due respect to those who labor with painted faces and oversized shoes. The party that got itself into a fever over Barack Obama’s imaginary Kenyan birth, and briefly elevated Donald Trump, the main purveyor of that invention, to its front ranks, is now overwhelmed by its own nonsense.”
