Nude Sarah Palin Draws a Crowd

First of all, a warm welcome to everyone who got here by searching "Nude Sarah Palin." Sorry, we're not quite delivering on the promise of the headline, but still, this story is pretty great.

We're following the lead of Chicago tavern owner Bruce Elliott, who figured painting a nude portrait of America's hottest governor ahead of tonight's big VP debate wouldn't be a bad way to rack up business at his Old Town Ale House. The Chicago Tribune reports:

He began painting her smile and trademark glasses, he said, before filling in the details: a gun, red high heels, polar bear rug, rugged Alaska landscape and a scared moose. His daughter, who looks a little like Palin and does a great impression of her, served as model for the governor's body.

And--no surprise, here--the painting has been a nice little boon for business:

Since Elliott, 68, hung the portrait Thursday, it's been a steady draw at the dive bar, which is a popular spot for Second City comedians to grab beers and play pinball after shows. But after the image hit the Internet on Monday, interest exploded.

"We got a bunch of people in tonight," Elliott said. "They're coming to take pictures with their camera phones. The photo is all over the place."

    Very Funny

    Slight factual inaccuracy in your article though: Brian Schweitzer is America's hottest governor.  Brian Schweitzer.

    His daughter?! There is not an expression strong enough for "No Dad, I will not pose nude for you. Not even for political reason."
