> You might not be able to find Bin Laden. But you sure as

> How can we ever thank you? So, in your office every

> of justice is in the spirit of your own inhibited sexuality.
> > > >
> And when we women see our grandmothers, our mothers,
> our daughters, our granddaughters, our sisters,
> ourselves.... when we women see that statue, the spirit of
> justice, we see the spirit of strength and the spirit of
> survival. While every day weview innocent bodies dragged
> out of rubble, and women and children laid out like thin limp
> dolls and baptized into death as collateral damage, and the
> hollow eyed Afghani mother's milk has dried up underneath
> her burka in famine, in shame, and her children are dead at
> her breast.
>
> While you look at that breast John, that jug on the spirit
> of justice, and deal with your thoughts of lust and sex and
> nakedness, we see it as a testimony to motherhood....and
> you see it as a tit.
>
> It's not the money it cost. It's the message you send. We've
> got the right to live in freedom. We've got the right to cheat
> Americans out of millions of dollars and then just not want
> to tell congress about it. We've got the right to drop bombs
> night and day on a small country that has no army, no navy,
> no military at all, because we've got the right to bear arms,
> but we just better not even think about the right to bare
> breasts.
>
> So, now John, you can be photographed while you stand
> there and talk about guns and bombs and poisons without
> the breast appearing over your right shoulder, without
> that bodacious bosom bothering you, and we just wanted
> to tell you, in the spirit of justice, in the spirit of truth:
> John, there is still one very big boob left standing there
> in that picture.
