Regarding "Drapegate", It's not known exactly who ordered the drapes put there or why. Even if it was Ashcroft, his motivation is not necessarily not liking nudes. He may have been annoyed by media photographers standing at odd angles to get photos of the breast next to his head. This was an in-joke amongst photographers that started with Edwin Meese - getting a photo of a breast next to a conservative AG, bonus points if he happens to be bashing porn at the time.
