Seriously? The drawing on the original seal is so rough it’s hard to even tell that the subject is female. As for the semicircle-dot that’s supposed to be a breast, the logo for Target stores is more graphic. Sheesh. ---

Well, she’s supposed to be an Amazon, and Amazons are supposed to have burned off their right breast. So they could just expose the boob-less side as a compromise. ---

I think the A.G. would make a great target for a topfree protest. You know, sort of a “Tit for _That_.” Just imagine, topfree women from across the country, preferably representing all ethnicities, age groups and body types. Have them converge on him just as he is walking in an open area to be picked up in a parking lot and driven to a press conference. And don’t worry about arrests. Since it would be part of a protest, the bare-breasted status of the women would be protected by the First Amendment. Yep, even in a state where it is ordinarily illegal. (Just offhand, I don’t think that Virginia is among the “topfree” states.) I can just imagine his reaction. He’d be more than willing to compromise about one little drawn boobie. Heck, he’d be the most red-faced Red State-sman. 🆒 _ **- Og** _ ---

Be fair! He’s simply trying to protect the Commonwealth from the threat of earthquakes! On the other hand, if a [bare-breasted Amazon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rebellion_to_Tyrants_colonial_medal_Virginia.jpg) was good enough for Thomas Jefferson, it should be good enough for Cooch, the bowdlerizing prig. ---

Doesn’t he realize that without female public nudity, it will be that much harder for closeted gay men to pretend to be straight? He’s not playing to his base here. ---

Cuccinnelli is an embarrassment, but it turns out he didn’t have to come up with his own version of the state seal here. He lifted that design from [an old regimental flag](http://civilwargazette.wordpress.com/2007/01/26/virginia-regimental-flag-captured-by-the-53rd-pennsylvania-infantry/). > [@La\_Beldame](#): > > On the other hand, if a [bare-breasted Amazon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rebellion_to_Tyrants_colonial_medal_Virginia.jpg) was good enough for Thomas Jefferson, it should be good enough for Cooch, the bowdlerizing prig. Alas, I don’t believe she’s bare-breasted, but armored–a breastplate with pauldrons (similar to [this](http://www.pitbullarmory.com./womens.html))–there seems to be a rivet on her left shoulder. ---
