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?
No, I'd prefer being photographed groping it while wearing a Bill Clinton mask.
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.
