"Ashcroft, whose political reputation was one of strict social conservatism, drew notice by the pornography industry in his first year on the job, when his department paid $8,000 for curtains to drape a bare-breasted statue, Spirit of Justice, and a male counterpart, Majesty of Law, at its headquarters in Washington."
I Call BS on you.
Draping the statue began more than 14 years before Ascroft when certain ******* photogrphers would dive to the foot of the podium to get a camera angle to get the then attorney general and the statures tits, which were were many feet higher, in the same frame. During Reno's term as AG, they get rid of the old drapes, and in a ridiculous wasteful boondoggle, rented drapes at inflated rates for each press conference. What Ascroft did was buy drapes (for the cost edqual to only 1.5 days rental that the Clinton Admin did) and thus save taxpayer money.
