Statuesque

Chuck Asay, 9/4/11:
Actually, the MLK memorial was made entirely locally by Chinese laborers -- and, in the best American tradition of imported labor, they weren't paid by their employer at prevailing wages or until they left the country.

But Asay is probably more annoyed by the fact that the sculptor is Chinese, because he firmly believes in racial set-asides that would require the sculptor of a statue of an African-American to be African-American himself. Right?
