So, a low level staffer gets to spent $8,000 of my money, to please her aesthetic vision. Or,at least she gets to take the blame for it.
To: Dane
Would you rather have him spend $100,000 for a new podium and electrical system? I'd rather him resign and be remanded into the custody of a mental hospital.
To: sneakypete
It COULD be that they think the human body is beautiful when in proportion,and that it will never go out of style or become "dated". Unlike clothing,which goes and comes into style depending on what is "trendy". What about all of those 400 yr. old paintings of nude fat women? Not exactly "chic" by today's standards. You might almost call them "dated".

Would you like a picture of you as seen in reply #67 to be on every front page in America? I wouldn't want my picture on the front page of every paper, but if it was, the statue wouldn't bother me. If it did, I'd just move the podium.
Anyway maybe they can't change where he holds press conferences, due to logistical reasons.
That is a possibility, but I doubt something as trivial as moving a podium is impossible.
That statue is another FDR legacy, I could do without.
I'd prefer to work on undoing FDR's influence in government policy first, and worry about this statue later.

Wouldn't bother me a bit. I would concern myself with the message I had to deliver. If small minds watching were distracted by the statue I would feel sorry for them but recognize them for what they were. Okey Dokey, remind me when you are AG and I will be right there to take the same kind of picture and give to it all the papers.
It is so easy to criticize from a far, isn't it.

Do you know that I am naked right now under my clothes as I type these words to you? You just THINK you have seen "offensive".
To: Dane
Well if you are going to bitch don't forget FDR. That statue probably cost more than $8,000 in today's dollars.
Oh I get it. Since FDR blew tax money for aesthetic reasons, its OK for Ashcroft to blow tax money for aesthetic reasons. Very Clintonian reasoning you got there, Eleanor. (Clift not Roosevelt.)
Btw, would you like to be in a picture Ashcroft is in on every front page in America?
Not if it was associated with an article about my spending taxpayer money because boobs scare me. The juxtaposition would be too embarrassing.
If it was accompanying an article about me actually doing something important in service to the country or constitution, I couldnt care less if the statue behind me is showing her nips.

I'd rather him resign and be remanded into the custody of a mental hospital. Why? Are you getting lonely?

These statues should be replaced, with 3 staues instead of 2. One should be black, one hispanic, and one Evil White Slaveowner. The Evil White Slaveowner statue should be naked, but the other 2 should be dressed immaculately in designer clothes.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
The word for this is "dumb." Would love to see what he'd do if he gave a press conference from Rome or Greece.

Why? Are you getting lonely? No, but then I'm not a repressed creep who thinks Republicans can do no wrong and that nudity is dirty.
To: southern rock
If preferring statues wear some clothes makes me a prude, I guess I am guilty.You didn't have to tell us. Most of us could tell.
From my dictionary:
Prude:a person who is overly modest or proper in behavior, dress, or speech, esp. in a way that annoys others
To: freeeee
Would you like a picture of you as seen in reply #67 to be on every front page in America? Talking to the nation in front of a national landmark? Why would anyone feel anything but proud?
To: dead
Oh I get it. Since FDR blew tax money for aesthetic reasons, its OK for Ashcroft to blow tax money for aesthetic reasons. Very Clintonian reasoning you got there, Eleanor. (Clift not Roosevelt.) Not Clintonian, just being fair.

To: sneakypete
