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.

well Mary, why do you think Gonzales was so quick to sign off on the dis-robing?
