Pay no attention to the tit behind the curtain

The WaPo's In the Loop wants to know: will Gonzales tear down the curtain and that Ashcroft erected to conceal the bare breast of the Spirit of Justice from the leering eyes of the public. Yes, we know she is blind, but must she be topless as well? Good god, just keep Justin Timberlake away from her, that's what I say. Send your prediction, e-mail only, to: intheloop@washpost.com.

Kamen also wants to know:

And Another Thing . . .

Meanwhile, if the committee won't ask Gonzales about the curtain, perhaps it can inquire as to why President Bush calls him "Fredo"? Bush famously nicknames everyone, but Gonzales's name is Alberto. Gonzales is said not to know why he is called "Fredo."

Well, the obvious reason seems to be the sauce. Al-Fredo that is. But that said, were I Gonzales, I would certainly not be taking any boat rides with George.
