Breast On Virginia Seal Covered Up (Loon Attorney General strikes again)

[onehandle]

Virginia's attorney general Ken Cuccinelli is hard at work on the important issues of the day -- like making sure the Roman goddess depicted on his state's official seal isn't exposing herself.

The current seal shows "Virtus, the goddess of virtue, dressed as a warrior," with her foot resting "on the chest of the figure of tyranny, who is lying on the ground." She is holding a spear and her left breast is exposed.

Or at least it was exposed. At a recent meeting, Cuccinelli provided pins to his staff with a new seal on which "Virtus' bosom is covered by an armored breastplate," the Virginia Pilot reported. These new pins were not paid for by taxpayer dollars, Cuccinelli's office insisted.

The original state seal was designed by George Wythe, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and was first adopted in 1776, according to a Virginia state website. But so much for that.

Republicans have no sense of history. They do not deserve America.

1. so, does he hate breasts or just LEFT breasts?

[3waygeek]

4. He hates anything LEFT...

like all the other right-wing nutjobs.

[lunatica]

13. That's why they go in circles. They only turn right.

27. EVIL is in the eye of the beholder. And it seems to me the

state of Virginia has slipped into the state of evil. I would never ever have thought it of them. Even tho he died Fartswell sure screwed up that state didn't he.

2. If asked, I would have said Virtus was a guy

The drawing isn't exactly "busting" out. Looks like a muscular pec to me.

:shrug:

Does AG Cuccinelli knows that there are nekkid boobs on the internet?

[johnnie]

3. Typical

Why do I foresee some sort of sex scandal for Ken Cuccinelli on the horizon?

[Captain Hilts]

5. I am SO glad to be out of VA. How do all those Obama voters who didn't vote last Nov. feel now?

[11 Bravo]

17. Obama CARRIED Virginia. We did good.

[Captain Hilts]

18. Um, no. We lost it in '09. nt

[muffin1]

21. People are just too fucking stupid.

Unfortunately, I'm still in Virginia (I voted for Deeds, btw).

I hear Erlich (sp?) is running for Governor again???

[Captain Hilts]

23. Yeah, I held my nose and voted for a lot of folks like Deeds because the R alternative was

so creepy.

Erlich IS running again. He actually wore out his welcome among Republicans 4 years ago. Like GWBush, he just kept picking - and fighting - all the wrong fights. In his first week in office he pissed off Dems and Reps!!!

6. we are moonwalking into the fifties

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Holy John Ashcroft, Batman!

[sandnsea]

8. More purtian than the puritans

Do these people not see how ridiculous they are? Over the course of hundreds of years, nobody has been as freaked out by the sight of a boob as these morons.

9. ...

[onehandle]

10. Wow, that's hot. Now I get it.

Idiot Republicans.

[Generic Other]

19. Have you no shame?

[muffin1]

22. Alerting!

I'm getting all hot. For god's sake cover it up!!11!!

:rofl:

[Hosnon]

11. This is the kind of shit that makes me think the GOP attracts and caters to idiots. nt.

[Rex]

12. I have a theory (based on the Crisco Kid) that men who hide breasts

of statues like to play with said breasts on said statues when no one is around. Just a thought.

[ecstatic]

14. I thought you meant seal, as in the animal

Nevermind, carry on.

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Don't worry -- the Free Market will provide all the flag porn Americans demand. nt

[ladjf]

16. Oh God! Wait until John Stewart finds out about this.

However, in the Att. General's defense, it was a pretty sad looking boob. She wasn't exactly Venus.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Repugs are adept at providing material for comedians.

[Cleita]

24. Fear of female breasts?

Remember when Ashcroft covered the bare breasts of the statues in the justice department. Why are these uptight fundies afraid of breasts?

[Arugula Latte]

25. Boobies iz reel skarey!

:scared:

[beyurslf]

26. Looked like she was wearing a blue outfit too. In the new pic, it is a red skirt.

[baldguy]

28. Republicans: they fear sex and love death,

In ways no rational human being will understand.
