The Virginia AG has decided that the replacement breast plate lapel pins he had made for his staff were just too distracting so he has returned to the bare-breasted Goddess Virtue of the Great Virginia Seal. He did try to lame out of why he did such a stupid, cultural warrior stunt in the first place:
“The image on my office lapel pin is similar to that of a large antique state flag that hangs in the Virginia Capitol,” Cuccinelli said in a statement yesterday. “That is where I got the idea for my pin. I liked this particular image and thought it would be something unique for my employees.
Cuccinelli attempted mock outrage that people would find his decision to cover up the Goddess ridiculous:
“I cannot believe that joking with my staff about Virtue being a little more ‘virtuous’ in this antique version has become news.
“This is simply a media-made issue that has become distracting to the work of my office. I am going to end this distraction by discontinuing future use of the pin.”
The Democrats opportunistically have been laughing their hind-quarters off because of Ken’s efforts to make an Amazon Goddess more modest. According to the Richmond Times Dispatch:
The Democratic Party of Virginia also called the latest dustup a distraction — and blamed Cuccinelli. “Does Ken Cuccinelli have anything better to do?” the party asked in news release.
“All Virginians should be concerned that Ken Cuccinelli is wasting the people’s time applying his ultraconservative political agenda to every aspect of his job, even classical art,” said party Chairman C. Richard Cranwell.
“Attorney General Cuccinelli’s good will has run out with our citizens,” Cranwell added. “Virginians demand common sense, results-oriented government, not distractions, embarrassments and misplaced priorities.”
Steve Farnsworth, a political scientist at George Mason University, said the seal flap “is the latest in a whole session of national punch lines.”
The controversy has been a distraction from the accomplishments of the McDonnell administration, and it has made life difficult for the Republican Party of Virginia, he said.
If Cuccinelli really was on top of things he would know that Goddess Virtue didn’t get on the state seal by being a cream puff. Sic Semper Tyrannis! Thus Always to Tyrants. Don’t mess with Virginia’s boobs!
Darn it!! He caved! Oh, well, guess you’ve gotta let those Dems have their mammillae.
Cuckoo Cuccinelli is at it again.
Wow, car bombs, unemployment and Iran heating up, and this is our BFD issue?
Emma, feel free to start your own blog if you don’t like our topics. I also had the lacrosse murders but it got eaten by cyber space. Really irritated me too!
I thought you would be delighted to learn that your AG had come to his senses.
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Boobs should ALWAYS be a big deal! They cause earthquakes.
I support the complete baring of any issue with this subject. Let us get beneath the cover ups. Moon’s readers always appreciate such an uplifting topics. Let’s strip away the ……
ok, I’ll stop there….
Just remember, one picture is worth a thousand words.
@ cargo,
At least SOMEONE appreciates the topics around here! 😉
If your boobs cause earthquakes, you should probably be proud.
Wait, I misread this — Cuccinelli is in favor of covering up the State’s boobs – get him out of there. I am for porno-democrats.
Free the ta-tas.
I’m all for having a ‘Women of Moonhowling’ calandar showing solidarity with Virtue by making the same pose as our Great Seal.
Any takers?? 🙂
BTW, our Attorney General gives me faith that government CAN work!
Cover up that ridiculous picture K.C.’s fugly face.
Marin, I asked and everyone said no to your suggestion. They wanted to conquor, not expose.
First your AG needs to prove he can hold his own in court. I doubt if he will be able to.
Drat. I gave a shot at it…!!
The picture for this thread DOES make him look a lot like Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory).
So, question for you. And, not a gotcha game on this one. If Cuccinelli wins on his HCR lawsuit (at least at the District level) will you give him props then? 🙂
@marinm I would extend that to whether he gets props if the 9 other challenging states win as well.
He won’t. No. I dislike him intensely. I always have. I will obey the law. I don’t have to like it.
I don’t like self-righteous cultural warriors. I find them offensive. Has he ever done anything I approved of? Yes. Once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
So, am I right in assuming that we are all on the same page, more or less, with the uncovered breast issue? If this keeps up, someone may decide that this should be the official dress code for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Better check the La Leche League website just to be sure. I can see the tourism advertising now. “Virginia is for Unfettered Breasts— One at a Time, Please.”
9? The count is upto 20 states + Virginia challanging HCR. Enough states to kill it if it were a Constitutional Amendment. 🙂
Roger that MH, good honest answer.
