I read this one today and I thought, oh brother, this is ridiculous. After bashing the Democrats last week it’s time to poke fun at the overly-conservatism of the Republicans. This week’s spotlight is on John Ashcroft, our Attorney General.
Within the forum area of the Justice Department building are two Roman-like statues. One of a man, The Majesty of Justice, and one to the left, a female statue - The Spirit of Justice, called by many, “Minnie Lou”. Now Minnie is sporting a Roman Toga that covers the left half of her body but leaves the right, top portion hangin’ free. That’s right, her right headlight has the high beam on for everyone to see.
Now, this has been sort of a ploy or joke within the Justice Department reporters for some time. When former Attorney General Edward Meese released his final report on his commission on Pornography. The reporters grabbed the opportunity to shoot a picture of ole Ed holding his report high with one hand and good ole Minne’s boob seemed to be resting on his right shoulder.
Well, it seems there has been quite a few pictures lately of John Ashcroft with Minnie in the background showing us the finer points of Justice. Ashcroft has grown pretty weary of it and has now ordered that the statues be draped. Mind you, that it being our wonderful government, it cost $8000.00 to cover Minnie. It must be the finest Armani Roman Toga that money can buy.
I know that Ashcroft is supposedly a very conservative and deeply religious guy. But….so what! When did religion come to be against art over the human body. I would like to bring to evidence Exhibit A, the Statue of David. Nobody has complained for centuries about ole David’s wanker hangin’ free. People around the world, religious or not look at this statue and think of what a work of art it is. So why is Minnie under such scrutiny. Well, it seems like as most conservative bastards, they have a hair up their ass about things they can’t comprehend. This country is just amazing, we are regarded around the world as “over-sexed Americans.” Yet, this is the only country in the world that someone gets offended over an aluminum work of art. Get a life Ashcroft, ya’ freak!
I haven’t seen the new “drapery” over Minnie, the Spirit of Justice, but I’m going to get very worried if she’s sporting a full robe and her head is covered, showing only her eyes. Maybe if we ever catch Bin Laden, Asscroft can get some style hints for Minnie. Give me a break.
God bless America, God bless Minnie!
