Well, two answers: 1) The statue is art. Don't be a prude-a&&. What, yer gonna put speedos on 'David'? and 2) I would have paid a little attention to my backdrop if I was a public figure. Ashcroft made himself look foolish with his lack of attention to detail, so now he's going to make the entire conservative movement look foolish too?
I hate to admit it, but Ashcroft is turning into an embarrassment for us. He did a little early pro-gun stuff but after that he's been burying Clinton shenanigans, implementing the closest thing to a Fascist state he can get away with, and here he comes on the attacks on art. Can the book burnings truly be far behind?
Bow down to the God called "Art". Another example of giving in to the left.
These are just aluminum statues - but just because they are statues you (and the left) call it "Art". One man's "Art" is another man's junk. If these are so much "Art" in your mind, who sculpted them? What other important work has he done to merit his work to even be called "Art" and not just decoration. You do know there is a difference, don't you?
If Ashcroft's predecessors had placed excrement covered "Art" of the virgin Mary in the DOJ, would you complain if Ashcroft removed it or covered it up? Why or why not? I mean, it is "Art" isn't it? Who are you to say it is or isn't?
Screw the left.
