VA Attorney General Redesigns State Seal To Cover Left Breast
Cuccinelli opts for more modest state seal

RICHMOND

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli apparently isn’t fond of wardrobe malfunctions, even when Virginia’s state seal is involved.

The seal depicts the Roman goddess Virtus, or virtue, wearing a blue tunic draped over one shoulder, her left breast exposed. But on the new lapel pins Cuccinelli recently handed out to his staff, Virtus’ bosom is covered by an armored breastplate.

When the new design came up at a staff meeting, workers in attendance said Cuccinelli joked that it converts a risqué image into a PG one.

The joke might be on him, said University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato.

1. You'd think he would ALSO have a problem with the fact

that the seal shows a woman having successfully defied male authority by kicking the dude's ass.

Also, the seal shows the woman with no nipple(and possibly no left breast at all). Are we sure she isn't an Amazon?

2. I'm so tired of sharing air with these asscakes.
Why don't they build some boats and go start a puritan colony in Antarctica?

3. Virtus now has big shapely breasts apparent, a tiny waist, and
the man she had vanquished in the original (her foot on his chest, with his face turned away) is now laying on his side, resting on his elbow while gazing upwards...

the whole re-do makes her much more a sexual looking woman, and totally does away with her powerful victory over him from the original.

Seems Cuckoo-boy has a problem with strong female images.

5. Whatever that jackass designed it's NOT the Virginia state seal
Something like that has to go through the Virginia General Assembly. And if the Secretary of the Commonweath doesn't use it, then that ain't it.

6. great quote from the article
"When Virtus was fighting Tyranny, Polarek said, “a dress code was probably not her first concern.”
