WASHINGTON (AP) – A cartoonish painting of President George W. Bush in the nude has been taken down from the wall at the City Museum of Washington.

[…]

The painting was part of a “living room art” show called Funky Furniture – a variety of painted furniture and other items that were set up in the museum last week.

Expected to formally open this month, the show, including the Bush painting, was abruptly shut down Monday after some of the artists’ themes were considered unsuitable.
