Does his mean that the toga comes off the statue? And that there won’t be a crackdown on porn?
Let’s all hope that his successor isn’t an even nuttier fruitcake.
Heh–I just noticed this, so forgive the double post. But…
Look closely at the AP photo accompanying the article. Gee, I wonder why they picked that particular 3 year old photo… 
Thank god.
I just love this quote from his resignation letter:
So when does the alert level go back down?
Ashcroft resigns, eh.
Whatever he’s got, I hope it’s contagious.
Worst AG of my lifetime (so far). I’m just worried that his replacement might be somebody with a more pleasant facade, but who’s just as much of a fascist prick underneath.
I’ve thought about that, but do you honestly think that we could find someone worse?

I’ve gotta call it a tossup. John Mitchell was pretty bad.
I’m sure that Jack Chick would love to serve his country. The Reverend Moon has long had an interest in conservative politics, and with his recent crowning as the savior of mankind, might be just the entity to take over from John.
Actually, I heard they were just going to replace him with a dead guy. Mel Carnahan maybe.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that Bush is going to nominate him to the Supreme Court.
Or Grand Inquisitor.
Holy Shit that is classic!
He is of course refering to the sound defeat of the terr… erm … I mean the Democrats last week…
I am still getting the hang of this board and all its fancy quotes within quotes…
Ashcroft’s quote being: “The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved.”
Did they get to re-use the “Mission Accomplished!” banner?
I don’t normally care for signature quotes but I am tempted…
I doubt that, largely because I suspect that the reason that Ashcroft’s resigning is that he’s either 1) dying, or 2) in otherwise poor health.
Yeah, and Ashcroft got to re-use the flight suit and crotch padding
That’s right. Don’t fight the mental picture. Give in to the horror
Damn! I was all set to unleash my army of calico cats on Washington DC, too. Now what the hell am I going to do with a 1,000 calico cats?
PS The rumor’s have been flying around DC that Ashcroft is in ill health and wants nothing to do with a Supreme Court nomination. However, I’d be willing to bet that Ashcroft would be more than happy to sell whatever withered scraps of a soul he has left to Satan to be healthy enough to serve on the court.
