Then why in the world did you send these words and go to the trouble of bolding them?

"denied any such thing. They stoutly maintained that the attorney general had never complained and that no draperies had been ordered.""

And why did you post it at all, with the claim it showed that Ashcroft hadn't been the one who wanted the boobies covered? It says the opposite of that.

"Some ditzy woman" ordered $8000 drapes to cover of historic statues without her boss's approval? She just felt like it and claimed he desired it to get the pretty drapes? You believe that?

I find you myterious in what you choose to post, in what you choose to bold, and in what you choose to believe about the way the world works, but carry on.

(We do agree on one thing: whoever wanted the drapes is "ditzy.")

I think the story hinges on what Ashcroft thinks the work "order" means. He probably told his secretary to order them, or maybe just told them to do something to hide the statues and let them work out the details.
