Palin Effigy in WeHo Taken Down

sarah palin effigy taken down in west hollywoodAfter a "heart-to-heart" talk with West Hollywood Mayor Jeffry Prang as a "huge mob scene" protested outside, Chad Michael Morrisette took down the controversial Sarah Palin effigy, which he said he saw as a Halloween display mixed with some election politics, two days earlier than he had planned.

During the 5 o'clock hour yesterday evening, a man parked a black truck with a noose wearing male dummy that wore a T-shirt saying "Chad, how does it fell?"

Good decision guys.

We don't need to give the right wingers any excuse to cry victim. They'll be doing it plenty as soon as they lose.

Kudos Morrisette and Avila. You could have been stubborn about this, but you did the right thing.

"why do people get so offended so easily"

What do you expect? You hang an effigy of any political figure and some sector of the population is going to get bent out of shape.

From the interviews I've seen of these guys, I'm sure they didn't mean it the way it was taken, but clearly they didn't think about the type of attention it was going to get.

I'll say one thing. This is pretty good resume mat'l for 'ol Chad the window dresser, his whole job discription is getting people's attention with art.

Can we hang the real Palin now? Pretty please
