“And here’s the delightful capper,” from Jim Treacher at the Daily Caller: “Hillary Clinton’s press secretary isn’t too happy that she didn’t get Fairey’s blessing. Again,” Treacher notes, along with some background on how Fairey “stole a photo of Obama from the Associated Press to make the [2008] ‘HOPE’ poster, then lied about it during the huge legal mess, and his own lawyers quit, and it was a whole big thing.”

UPDATE: “That’s the problem with Socialism, eventually you run out of other people’s artwork.”

And from 2008, Gerard Van der Leun on Fairey’s improbable backstory, or the secret Obama-Andre the Giant connection revealed!
