If you have to ask, I will respond.

To compare the AG with the Taliban is not a appropriate thing to do.IMHO.

JUSTICE COVERS 'NUDE' STATUES

Didn't I already read this in The Onion?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I wonder how the Rats can use it against him without creating a bigger problem for themselves

WELL I THINK ALL THE RATS HAVE NAKED LITTLE BOYS AROUND THEIR POOLS AND IN THEIR COURTYARDS AT HOME DONT THEY he he he or a body in the garden ..........................At least ashcroft is in balnce in the pic the demorats have no balance unless their rainbow colored leaping twits !!

"What is wrong with an AG not wanting to have a picture with a big boob hanging over him on every front page of the nation?"

Wonder if Janet Reno would have been equally offended by a large penis hanging over her head during briefings. Just a thought. Will wait for creative graphic.

"Why is it just now that they decided to cover the statues? Doesn't it seem kind of silly when you think about?"

I can answer those questions! The reason is this: the liberal media would like nothing more than to find a way to continually embarass Ashcroft - why? because he's been open about his commitment to Christ. Sooooo, being the arrogant, rude and a few other things that the liberal media are - they seem to take great joy in getting pictures of Ashcroft with the nude statue. There's nothing against the statue - it's how the media is using it to embarass Ashcroft EVERY TIME HE COMES TO THAT AREA TO MAKE SOME KIND OF ANNOUNCEMENT - this is ridiculous! The easy way to solve the problem is just to cover the statue up and therefore deny the media it's joy at embarassing Ashcroft.

And ... I might add - no self-respecting photographer would have allowed such a rude picture to have made it to the newspapers or magazines.

I think you and I will have to agree to disagree on this one my friend :-)

[CyberAnt]

I wasn't talking about the age of the statue - I was talking about the fact that women today have no modesty! The statue has nothing to do with that statement.

We went to Rome for 10 days on our second date, with one day out to Florence..... :o)

ROME???? It's clear I don't know how to date. I think a movie and a pizza is a big deal.

[asneditor]

I think you and I will have to agree to disagree too. :-) I don't see anything offensive by the statues. I'm really not sure why our AG would worry about it. The statues have been there for over 60 years and not any other politician of any sort has given it a second thought. Just seems to me there is far more urgent bidness to take care of than to worry about some old naked statue that nobody pays any attention to anyway.

[CyberAnt]

That's because they agreed with Clinton - they thought it was funny and cool - in a twisted sort of way.

However, with Ashcroft (the Godly man), they are eager to embarass him at every turn. In my opinion, he just stole their fire and I think it's really funny. I have a feeling the press didn't think Ashcroft realized what they were up to - but as usual, they have underestimated this admin.

[BunnySlippers]

I wish he hadn't done that. It plays into every 'Puritan', 'anti-culture', etc. etc. etc. stereotype that the left brandishes against the right.

I hope this isn't true. Is it anywhere other than Drudge? Ashcroft is incredibly stupid to pick nits at this point. Cripes!

[CyberAnt]

Well then, they just need to get a life!! LOL

[Dane]

Ah, so you have been disproven, yet you now call it projection...Dane, your bag of rhetorical cheats won't get you out of this one, you made a silly, non logical statement, can't back it up, so you come out swinging with another word, how Dane of you!

Uh CS, better start freep-mailing your Libertarian buds, you are losing and your gibberish is not going to save you.

BTW CS, you still haven't answered the question I asked you in reply #420.

How would you react in being Ashcroft's place? Would you just laugh at someone saying that you(central scrutiniser) was acting "titular" in front of a picture of the aluminum boob?

[Stone Mountain]

Still, my point is, as stated above, I do not understand the mentality of someone who goes through all the work and trouble of creating a statue, and then deliberately decides to make it naked. Why?

Can you see no beauty in the naked human body? Do you think the only reason that an artist would render a nude is to arouse others? Do you think Michaelangelo's David would be the same work of art if he were wearing a cloak or shorts?

[Dane]

Well then, they just need to get a life!! LOL

Exactly. I wonder if any the people who are outraged can tell me what the crime is for not being wanted to be defined by the liberal media.

[Stone Mountain]

No, I do not beleive children belong in art museams where nudity is on display.

Why? What do you think will happen to them?
