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.
Not Clintonian, just being fair.
