So Ashcroft cannot handle female breasts or naked men statues either. The other statue, of a man with a cloth covering his midsection, is called the Majesty of Law.
The statues have been there since 1930 but Ashcroft is the first Attorney General to suggest clothing them.
In the past, snagging a photo of the attorney general in front of the statues has been something of a sport for photographers.
When former Attorney General Edwin Meese released a report on pornography in the 1980s, photographers dived to the floor to capture the image of him raising the report in the air, with the partially nude female statue behind him.

I was going to post this thread earlier, but realized that everyone would already understand what a stupid, narrow-minded jerk A$$croft is! Still, it is nice to throw some aspersions in his direction ...

The vice president and president are really concerned about the privacy of power. They want to do what they want to do, and be accountable to no one. The stonewalling on the energy task force and the unilateralism on Camp X-ray are two sides of the same coin.
The theme of Bush I is now the theme of Bush II: Trust us, even if we won't let you verify. We know we're right. We answer to no one.
I, for one, want some answers. Let's start with those calico cats and Enron rats.
