The Flag of Virginia and Janet Jackson?
On CNN Crossfire, Paul Begala said that the flag of Virginia has an image of a woman with one breast exposed. He wondered whether the FCC honcho - son of Colin Powell? - will demand that VA changes its flag. If anyone can find this image and post it - please do.

4. Tucker has gender confusion.
It is a male warrior in a toga, not a woman.

5. It looks like the Greek Goddess Athena
Godess of War and Victory. So not only are Virginians celebrating naked breast, but also paganism. Way to go Virginia! I'm sure somewhere Pat Robertson is having a heart attack.....

6. It looks like a woman's breast to me. Nipple and all....
Is that why the state is named "Virginia"?

7. It's the Goddess Virtue

A deep blue field contains the seal of Virginia with the Latin motto " Sic Semper Tyrannis" - "Thus Always to Tyrants". Adopted in 1776. The two figures are acting out the meaning of the motto. Both are dressed as warriors. The woman, Virtue, represents Virginia. The man holding a scourge and chain shows that he is a tyrant. His fallen crown is nearby.
