Wow, I find myself on the other side now. Ashcroft is a prude if he thinks that "art" that has been in that building for over 50 years is offensive.

He may be a bit of a 'prude', but that is his choice at what he considers appropriate for his place of work. I really don't see the point of having a statue of a naked lady in a government building unless it is an art museum. It is not the appropriate location for it, reguardless of how long it has been there.

Well that is not Ashcroft's building. It is ours.

Also, the name of that statue is "The Spirit of Justice" and it belongs right where it is. Isn't it ironic that he would cover the "Spirit of Justice"? I would be more concerned with the ramifications of what he did moreso that the fact that it shows a breast.
