Sounds like a case of assuring a non-hostile work environment to me. The leftists should be quite happy, assuming that they're consistent.

Would this story have seen the light of day without confirmation if it had been a Democrat?

I need help comprehending exactly what it is that is patently evil about a nude statue. Is it the acknowledgement that people are actually naked under their hairshirts that some fear? A standing nude can only be considered obsene by an obsene mind, say I.

Outside the (leased) building of my former employer was a 30' tall rendering of the David. Now, for those of you unfamiliar with the sculpture, David is full-bollocks naked as the day he was born. There was quite a movement formed, primarily by a bunch of women for whom the statue was most likely the closest they would come to a male body, to have the "offensive statue" removed. Seems that it was creating a "hostile environment."

The landlord's response to this herd of bra-burning cows? "Get a life." Really! Heh, heh.

It's stuff like this that gives the Washington ComPost and the New York Slimes ammunition to portray us as a bunch of nutty rubes. I'm starting to think Ashcroft needs to have his head examined.

I am taking CREDIT as the inadvertent inspiration for this story by BEVERLY LUMPKIN. Why? Because on January 21 I posted this THREAD about how boring Beverly Lumpkin has become. I know she monitors the Free Republic so I am sure she saw my post and decided to spice up her usually dull reports a bit. Glad you have been taking my advice, Beverly. Your story might not have much to do with the job of the Attorney General but at least it is a wee bit interesting. (But is it accurate?)

And it turns out that they were indeed ordered by someone in the attorney general's office, who delivered the request to the Justice Management Division and asserted it was the attorney general's desire. Sure enough, there it is. So many articles about it and I missed this one, the key to it all.
Oh well. The photographers are still the main culprits in all of this.

In law, we refer to these as "Revised Statues." -----[if you don't get it, read it again carefully] parsy the high-class punster.

there is a difference between art and gratuitous nudity. guess he doesnt have enough work as it is, but has to play dress up with beautiful, artistic nudes.
