Justice Department hangs drapes in front of towering, partially naked statues

And, because Mark Morford says it much better than I can:

The Justice Department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide two giant, partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the agency's headquarters. Attorney General and noted McCarthy sycophant John Ashcroft, a ferociously religious and wildly uptight, sexless, desperately conservative man with no discernable pulse who always looks like he just smelled Lynne Cheney's breath, ordered the statues covered because he didn't like being photographed in front of them and because he is
dangerously narrow minded and anything remotely sexual scares the living hell out of him. The 10- to 12-foot female statue represents the Spirit of Justice and has its arms raised and a toga draped over its body, with a single breast completely exposed. The other statue, of a man with a cloth covering his midsection, is called the Majesty of Law, and looking at that one too long tends to make Johnny all tingly and warm in "special" places, causing him to rub himself against the podium lectern as he delivers some sort of anti-everything admonition against you horrible immigrants or women or gay people or sentient intelligent beings who enjoy great food and deep tongue kissing and perhaps really superlative oral sex because good golly he's just so lonely sometimes.
