Well, two answers: 1) The statue is art.

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.

I will direct you to someone who knows a little more about these artistic statues than either you or I: Click here.

It appears the sculptor in question also carved the busts (pardon that pun) of those famous men onto the side of Mount Rushmore. Do you also consider this to be tacky, or kitsch, or in any way equivilent to a feces-covered virgin Mary?

I admit I didn't do any research before declaring this 'art'. However, I had a hunch that anything adorning the outside of the Justice department building might be done by famous and talented men. It appears you, also, did no research on these statues. So, if anyone is bowing to a Leftist tenet, it is you who is bowing to willful ignorance -- a classic in their congeries of tactics.
