Virginia’s AG Doesn’t Like Boobies
Virginia’s boob of an Attorney General is covering up the state seal.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is a mouth-breathing douchebag of the highest theocratic order, making our Chief Theocrat Gov. McDonnell look like a bleeding-heart liberal. And in true Bible-thumping “omg, won’t someone think of the children” fashion, he comes up with this:
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli apparently isn’t fond of wardrobe malfunctions, even when Virginia’s state seal is involved.
The seal depicts the Roman goddess Virtus, or virtue, wearing a blue tunic draped over one shoulder, her left breast exposed. But on the new lapel pins Cuccinelli recently handed out to his staff, Virtus’ bosom is covered by an armored breastplate.
When the new design came up at a staff meeting, workers in attendance said Cuccinelli joked that it converts a risqué image into a PG one.
What did he change? See for yourself:
This will certainly make it onto late night television:
The joke might be on him, said University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato.
“When you ask to be ridiculed, it usually happens. And it will happen here, nationally,” he said. “This is classical art, for goodness’ sake.”
...
If the jokes start to fly, Cuccinelli can’t say he didn’t see it coming, Sabato said – not after what happened in 2002, when U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered drapes installed to cover partially nude statues at the Justice Department. “Ashcroft had one excuse: it hadn’t been done before and he wasn’t prepared for the critical onslaught that he faced,” Sabato said. “Cuccinelli has no excuse at all. He knows what’s coming because of what happened to Ashcroft. You can only conclude that he enjoys being the center of pointless controversy.”
This artwork has been in use since 1776 - the seal was designed by George Wythe, George Mason, Robert Carter Nicholas, and Richard Henry Lee. Can’t blame it on those damned feminists that got Bob McDonnell all hot and bothered in his Master’s thesis.
