Has the sheet covering Lady Justice's boobs at the Justice Dept. been removed?
When John Ashcroft was appointed Attorney General, a photographer got a shot of him standing in front of the sculpture of Lady Justice. Ashcroft decided that people weren't focusing on the scales of justice in her left hand, but that all of us "perverts" were focusing on her uncovered boob. He ordered that a sheet be thrown over the sculpture to keep our eyes from being offended.

Well, Ashcroft is gone and Roberto Gonzales is now the AG. We know he's the guy who advised George W. that torture was just fine. But what is his position on what Ashcroft deemed to be "pornography." Does anyone know if that sheet covering the sculpture of Lady Justice been removed? Of is Gonzales as insane as Ashcroft?

16. It is Nancy Pelosi who needs drapes. She doesn't want that sheet after Ashcroft had his filthy
hands on it. Who knows where his hands have been, as sexually repressed as he is?

17. Now, now
You know he had those statues covered because he didn't want to be referred to as the biggest boob in the room.

19. If that was it it obviously didn't work. Not only the room but the country.

8. Only perverts
cannot differentiate art from pornography. That includes the one who ordered the statue covered.

10. There's much truth in your observation. I, for one, wouldn't be

surprised if Ashcroft were some day arrested for soliciting a prostitute. And given the lengths to which he "doth protest," there's a good chance it would be a gay prostitute.

And welcome to DU.

13. Hopefully they don't put her on the Super Bowl Half Time Show or the FCC
will need to get involved. Can't have that, no. You can glorify violence on TV but no titties please.

18. Actually, Ashcroft eloped with the statue when he left and took it with him
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 06:02 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
He found the statue so sexually stimulating that he used to sneak under the sheet at night to have secret statue sex ... and I guess he sort of fell in love. Now, they're on the run, Ashcroft fearing being charged with statutory rape.

21. Gonzalez is leasing the statue to Victoria's Secret
for a substantial fee. They will be draping their lines of bras on it, to be rotated monthly. Hiking up her skirt so they can exhibit panties also being considered.
(Feel free and even encouraged to pass this rumor on)
