They’re Nekid I Tells Ya !
One of the more bemusing stories of the day involves a man from Texas named Robert Hurt. Hurt is a rancher (and father of 14) from Kerrville Texas. Over the years he has made several trips to Washington DC and he is not happy with what he has seen.
While visiting our nations capital he was appalled to find that many of the buildings have artwork that portrays women who are (hold on to your hats)…. NEKID !!!
I heard Mr. Hurt call in to a radio show this afternoon and discuss his shock upon entering a building near the US Capitol only to find what he called ‘naked women sculptors’. Now I will admit at this point I was curious to know why these women showed up to work without clothes. But after listening I realized he meant naked female sculptures.
It seems that every time Mr. Hunt turned around he found another appalling example of nekidness, which as he put it ‘is not what America is about’. He lays the blame with Lady Godiva and presumably evil Europeans.
At the Texas GOP convention recently he proposed they adopt a resolution calling for all of the naked statues to be removed from our sacred cities (though he did suggest that maybe it would be ok in San Francisco).
Feel free to enjoy some of this nekid art….

Thanks for showing Michelangelo's David to the world!
Users on this site may recall that when John Ashcroft was Attorney General at the Justice Department, he made the news for having a tarp draped over another similarly naked statue.
If it weren't for Michaelangelo , Da Vinci and others skulking about morgues in the dead of night( for fear of being thrown in prison) modern medicine would be in the dark ages, anatomy wise. Cultural throwbacks like Hurt need to crack open a history book ( and no the Bible doesn't count) now and again. He's a half step away from his own FLDS camp.
- that Ashcroft tarp cost the taxpayers 80Gs by the way, and it's called censorship.
Hurt needs to go live with the Amish or something.
Yikes! He's a father of 14?!!!!
Father of 14, but since he's Texan, he keeps his boots on. So, not nekkid.
