Washington Post

quote:
After more than three years, the most talked-about coverup at the Justice Department has come to an end.

Two soaring blue drapes that hung in the department's Great Hall were unceremoniously removed yesterday, once again revealing a pair of risque Art Deco-era sculptures that flank the room's stage.
Was that a slope I heard slipping?

A slip you hear sloping, perhaps.

I hope that picture of Ashcroft in the article becomes the most used and remembered one from his career.

She might find it titillating.

Wow, $7,275 isn't bad for a pair of giant cast statues! I'd say we got a deal, even with adjusted money values!

I'd feel sorry for the poor statue.

I'm pro-boob.

Republicans are pro-male boobs. Like Ash Croft, or Cheney.

Two points, by the look of it.

(well, really, the statue is wearing a toga, so it'd only be one point. But that was pretty funny anyway.)

This isn't exactly lining up with times. I mean, statues with bare breasts etc. have been around for... quite a few years now [Wink] .

They're not actually risque, you know. I'd be concerned for anyone over the age of like 14 who regarded them as sexual. Then again, maybe I just don't understand the awesome destructive power contained in any representation of a bare breast.

MrSquicky, I was going to say that but I was afraid of getting into a discussion about how risque can mean different things to different people...

But yes, I agree. A single bare breast on a Justice Statue is not risque.

Hang on.

Americans, remember? We only stopped considering bare ankles as risque last year.

edit: I'm amazed we don't have little "Censored" stamps decorating key areas of art history textbooks.

I never got that memo. You mean I can go out without socks on?

That's only if you want to make a statement, Bob.
