of the present day YORK -- It's a bust of Sen Hillary Rodham Clinton -- in more ways than common

Cast in resin and bearing ample cleavage, a bust of the of the present day York Democrat was unveiled this week at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan.

Calling his creation "The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States," artist Daniel Edwards said he wanted to depict the 58-year-old Clinton "with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured at wisdom."

Indeed, while the former first lady's face is shown with a not many wrinkles, Edwards cast her in a low-cut dres that

reveals her shoulders and chest.

"Her cleavage is forward display, prominently portraying sexual power which near people still consider too threatening," Edwards said.

Edwards has a knack for creating pieces that attract publicity -- his last work depicted Britney Spears forward her knees giving birth in succession a bearskin rug.

Clinton is widely conceit to be considering a presidential race in 2008 but has not declared her plans. She has not expositioned on the bust, her office said Friday.
