5. oh, yeah. cost a bundle. apparently it never occurred to him...

...to simply move the podium.

Ashcroft: protecting us from bronze and pewter boobs while the terrorists continue their work.

He annoints himself with oil, just like old-Testament prophets did. Not making this up.

Plus, he gets extra credit for writing (and SINGING!) that wonderful inspirational song.

Truly one of the most appalling nut jobs ever to hold office.

6. Yes, it's true!

Except it was $8000, not $2800, and he announced, proudly, himself! Here's the link--http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/ashcroft.html

Dirty minded fucker!

Justice Department covers partially nude statues
<http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/01/29/statues.htm>

"WASHINGTON (AP) — No longer will the attorney general be photographed in front of two partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice.

The department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide the two giant, aluminum art deco statues, said spokesman Shane Hix. For aesthetic reasons, he said, the drapes were occasionally hung in front of the statues before formal events. The department used to rent the drapes, but has now purchased them and left them hanging.

The drapes provide a nice background for television cameras, Hix said.

ABC News reported that Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the statues covered because he didn't like being photographed in front of them."

10. I remember one Congressman asking

"Instead of spending $8,000, why couldn't he have just moved the statues?"

19. What a shame. We could've seen two boobs in one shot.

[LibertyorDeath]

9. Yes it's true a grown man offended by a bare breasted statue

Another complete frigging Fundy nutjob.

They are everywhere. :puke:

[wtmusic]

14. He wasn't offended, he just had a big friggin' woody

and they were trying to take a picture! :crazy:

[LibertyorDeath]

15. Funny that's exactly what my wife said & I quote

" he is so sexually repressed that the statue was giving him woodies" :)

[toddzilla]

11. so it's not true..

sorry, i don't see anywhere that he ordered it himself or proclaimed it to be obscene.

[ConsAreLiars]

21. ??? It is true! It happened. No shifting of the goals will change that.

Now you want evidence that "he ordered it himself or proclaimed it to be obscene" beyond the fact that his underlings ordered the fabric and covered the naked bits after he whas photographed in their company? What? You need pics of his erection before you will believe what actually happened?

I send a E-copy to Crisco Johnnie every couple of months
to remind him that he can run, but cannot hide
from the cold tit of Justice.

16. what kind of closet-case would

want to cover such a wonderful piece of art?

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. And here is more true stuff about Asscroft

He sings.

And even more gross Asscroft info, like he annoints himself in cooking oil before he is sworn into office.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

20. Yes and didn't

the UN cover Picasso's "Gurenica" when Powell showed up with his little bottle?

22. Ashcroft has taboo statue sex at night

Naked statues are clearly one of his biggest temptations and he gives in to this sin every now and then at the Justice Department, without the lights on, of course.
