"Fed up with having his picture taken during events in the Justice Department's Great Hall in front of semi-nude statues, Attorney General John Ashcroft has reportedly ordered massive draperies to conceal the offending figures-which have been displayed since the 1930s!" The male and female figures in question-wearing a loin cloth and breast-baring toga respectively-represent the Majesty and Spirit of Justice. The idea of covering the statues for prudish reasons with $8000 draperies is funny, pathetic and very, very disturbing all at the same time. At the very least it's just embarrassing. What, was Ashcroft too distracted by that aluminum boob while trying to warn the American public that we were under high alert? Was he-as one friend suggested-too tempted to start humping that hot Justice chippie, the way Mel Brooks did in Blazing Saddles? " PartyTime, Fascist John and his nudes. What a funny story.
