OK, I get that some people simply don't care for or appreciate abstract art. We all have our little foibles. I, for example, disdain partisans. But that doesn't mean that when I see gop-ers or democrat party persons out on the street, I try to rub my ass all over them or take a piss on 'em!The same basic principle of civil restraint would seem entirely lost on 36-year-old Carmen Tush (err, Tisch) of Denver, Colorado (face pictured above) (allegedly). Tish apparently really hates abstract art or, at the very least, the above-pictured "1957-J no. 2" by abstract expressionist Clyfford Still...
Cops in Denver say Tisch became so irrate in the presence of the $30 million painting that she first took to pawing and scratching at it like a wild animal with her fingernails. When that apparently just wasn't cutting the mural well enough, Tisch next allegedly tried to touch it up by taking a poke at the painting with her fist. But Oh My, was this colorful brush with the law just gettin' started at that point (allegedly)!
It apparently wasn't enough merely to deface the poor painting; additionally, Tisch wanted to make sure she left a foul stench about the picture as well (allegedly). And what better way to pull off that piece of work than to pull down the ol' britches and rub one's ass all over the painting (allegedly)?!?
But cops say even after Tisch gave the painting a whole new staining with her bare rump, this anti-art broad just couldn't stop trying to paint herself into a corner. Because next up on her pallet was to try to deliver a little piss job to the paint job (allegedly)!Specifically, Tisch allegedly "tried to urinate on it but apparently missed." As a result, "she's not being charged with that," says the local District Attorney's office. But while Tisch may have escaped having to try to cop a pee plea, her fanny, nails and fist still allegedly trashed the painting to the hued tune of $10,000 damage.
That's a felony criminal mischief charge, boys and girls -- meaning Tisch may have to take her little paint prejudice (and her bare backside) and paint the local hoosegow red for some time to come.
As for what precisely might have set Tisch off, cops say she did appear to be drunk during the paint melee, although I'm not sure why they would conclude that. "You have to wonder where her friends were," said the DA. Great point. A stable, personable dame like Tisch must have a circle of friends bigger than Johnny Appleseed. Clyfford Still not among them, of course.
