It's not unusual for leftists to use the word "Christian" as a deadly insult (see also: "flag waver"). Why this particular religion is like fingernails on a blackboard to them is a study in itself. I have some theories.

As for the covering of the statues, Ashcroft was just getting a little sick of wiseass press photographers shooting him with those boobs hanging over his head. Snicker snicker. And if you think it wasn't deliberate, or the selection of these shots for publishing wasn't deliberate, I've got a bridge I can sell you.

Anyone recall any shots of Janet Reno that showed these statues?
