Live, Nude, Attorney General!
July 22, 2002
Seems as though our good friend John Ashcroft wasn't all that forthcoming about his realreasons for covering up those two statues.
The Justice Department apparently didn't tell the whole truth when it denied that new curtains were meant to hide a bare-breasted statue that loomed over Attorney General John Ashcroft's news conferences.The department said the blue curtains provide a better background for cameras - but internal memos obtained by the Daily News make it clear the $8,650 worth of drapery was part of a Department of Justice coverup...
...Initial reports said the curtain went up because Ashcroft, an Assembly of God minister, was offended by the one bared breast of the female statue that has graced the Great Hall since 1936. The breast was often visible over Ashcroft's head or shoulder in news conferences and photos.......When asked yesterday about the E-mails, Comstock said, "As we have indicated previously, the attorney general is not involved in matters regarding logistics or advance. This matter was handled by the advance staff...
I see a running motif here. Things that make Rev. John uncomfortable get covered up and forgotten. Things like nudity, justice and civil rights....
