Who knew the State Fair is a bastion of politically subversive farm-related plant art?

At the State Fair I counted about 7 pieces in the Crop Art category that specifically attacked Republicans. All these works were made out of various grains and seeds. Examples include:
Elephants shitting on the Constitution
Barack Obama cleaning up after elephant shit that was labeled with things like "Iraq War"
A Dr. Seuss Horton Hears a Who spin-off with anti-McCain, pro-Obama messages
A favorite was in the Scarecrow category - a GWB scarecrow with a pinocchio nose, a flight-suit labeled AWOL, a missile with the word Fear on it, and a puppet of Norm Coleman.
Strangely, no anti-Dem art. Another fairgoer reminded me that it's the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. Oh, yeah.
SO wish I'd had my camera with me.

P.S. If you're not ripping on Rep's, apparently your inspiration for crop art is Jesus, Ray Romano, or Bernie Mac.
