The return of statue porn

After three years of hiding those perky puppies, the Spirit of Justice is letting freedom ring!

With barely a word about it, workers at the Justice Department Friday
removed the blue drapes that have famously covered two scantily clad
statues for the past 3 1/2 years.

Spirit of Justice, with her one breast exposed and her arms raised, and
the bare-chested male Majesty of Law basked in the late afternoon light
of Justice's ceremonial Great Hall.

The drapes, installed in 2002 at a cost of $8,000, allowed then-Attorney
General John Ashcroft to speak in the Great Hall without fear of a breast
showing up behind him in television or newspaper pictures. They also
provoked jokes about and criticism of the deeply religious Ashcroft.


I wonder if Girls Gone Wild will show up to get some footage.

    I always wondered who dusts the nipples and do they all stand around and watch.
