It's a good thing Attorney General John Ashcroft doesn't live in Scranton. If he did, he'd have gotten a package of all the nudes that's fit to print over the weekend.
The package in question landed at the federal courthouse here, according to the Associated Press, including several porn materials. The details have yet to be disclosed, but authorities said the box also included a note to Ashcroft, who isn't exactly renowned for having a particular taste for images of the flesh.
You may recall what happened last year in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice: a pair of bare-bosomed statues were covered up. (This may be one of the only government cover-ups in recent years that didn't provoke a major investigation.)
The Justice Department, of course, said the covering up was for "aesthetic" reasons. But other reports, according to the AP, indicated the naked truth was that Ashcroft didn't like being photographed in front of them.
