Senator Dan Patrick Paints a Jesus (In Drag)

State Senator Dan Patrick (R, Houston) has taken up watercolors. Though he claims to have “no idea of how to paint the face of Jesus,” he does claim that his savior happened to appear in his latest work. While attempting a watercolor of the Statue of Liberty, Patrick made some adjustments and was surprised to see the 'face of Jesus' appear within the lady's brightly colored robes. "I decided to try a Peter Max type of painting of the Statue of Liberty. I could not get the fact right and used water to remove the paint on her face. When it dried and I tried to clean it up suddently the face of Jesus appeared so clearly." Death & Taxes Magazine doesn't think Patrick realizes the implications of a brightly colored Jesus wearing the outfit of one of the United States' most famous women, but we do. And it's hilarious.
