Jim Carrey nailed it! Great picture, kind of on the same lines that President George W. Bush paints. Bravo sir, no please paint on of our dotard in chief. I eagerly await.

I am going to file this one as a win for Carrey under the heading of “The Truth Hurts.”

How about a Sarah Huckabee doll in a jar of urine?

It can’t be her. Her face is way fatter.

I don’t understand why people on the Right automatically assumed that picture was of SHS. Did they recognize her by his description of her as a liar and a so-called Christian? The portrait could have easily been of Beavis. Or Susan Sarandon. Or Ted Nugent.

Acknowledging Godwin’s Law, I’m thinking of another time and place where artists were told what they could and could not create.

Agreed. That is an excellent caricature. Well done.
I was actually expecting Carrey in an impression of Sanders.
Which if anyone remembers his genius for physical mimicry (check out his his Sammie Davis, Jr. impression from @1987) would have been better still.

So what part of what Carrey suggest is not true? She is wicked, she is liar, she is a christian, she snarls at press brioefings and she ain’t exactly pretty either.

Free speech. If I said on Twitter Sarah is an ugly person and a fake Christian, how is that any different. Don’t for god’s sake apologize!

You beat me to it…who decided that this is unflattering? The opposite I think. Carey has talent, but didn’t quite capture the snarl.

That looks exactly like her. I was expecting far worse when I saw the headline. A raving beauty she’s not.

Note to TPM - it is time to start using this painting as the photo accompanying all upcoming press briefings.

It will be a vast improvement over her actual photographic images.

Carrey is an accomplished artist. He’s totally captured the essence of Sarah Huckabee Sanders here: ill tempered, abrasive and belligerent.

Between Carrey’s Huckabee caricature and The New Yorker’s cover of the Trumpster Exposed, the right-wing is in an art-meltdown. Then again, they’re merely expressing their double standard on the First Amendment and general suspicion of all things art-related. Those damn Liberal Art programs poisoning the well!!

Once they start using terms like depraved or degenerate is when we should really worry (gulp).

Why do I feel they already have?

I think it’s flattering – gets at the goodness of her nature behind the vile mask she wears and her layers of insipid belief systems.

Carrey’s painting is commentary on her lying hypocrisy and abhorrent behavior, but all these folks care about is her appearance. How expected.

While I believe that reporting on this is ridiculous, but its larger point is really scary. It’s only in totalitarian dictatorships that one has to worry about the free speech, and the critique of those in power.
