Well, if you want to call it art...you're insane.

Bush National Guard bust unveiling said postponed from December of 2002 because of 'pending war' with Iraq

The unveiling of a bronze bust commemorating President George W. Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard was postponed initially from December of 2002 due to the "pending war" with Iraq at the time, according to an assistant to the renowned sculptor commissioned for the project.

"Charles caught me before my hair went gray," the president had joked. Sculptor Charles Parks' assistant told Raw Story that the president didn't model for the bust, so the artist used pictures from the Internet and Time Magazine as a reference.
