Okay, but can we also talk about the weird rug choices? If you are the kind of person who will buy a deck of cards themed rug... how is that in the office and NOT the game room? What is the internal logic on that situation?

Oh, the sculpture is just an homage to the first draft of his most famous speech, wisely vetoed by Clementine. "We shall fight in the hills, shaped like rounded buttocks, we shall fight in the valleys, or if you please, in the buttcracks, we shall never surrender, nor ourselves nor our daisy dukes..."

Looking at that mess of a mansion, I am reminded of the famous quote from the celebrity interior designer, Billy Baldwin.

"Every night when I go to bed, I say a prayer that tomorrow the rich will wake up with taste."

Amen.

Well it proves the old adage that money can't buy taste.
