I’ve heard this rumor too. I hope it never comes true.
(sings)
Ding-dong the witch is dead…
(stops singing, grabs a celebratory beer)
Easily the worst AG I’ve ever lived through, and that includes Janet Reno and John Mitchell!
Janet Reno is still available.
I’m not celebrating yet – with this Administration, this is merely the pregnant pause before the other shoe drops… and the avalanche starts.
Allright. Now that Old Softy’s out, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Does this mean we can repeal the Patriot Act and stop gutting workers rights and union contracts now? After all, it was done because of greed I mean terror threats. :rolleyes:
Fuck John Ashcroft.
No, thank you. I have standards.
Really, really low standards, but standards all the same.

In honor of this celebration, allow me to repost my Gilbert and Sullivan pastiche from this thread, which died rapidly after I posted it there:
I am the very model of a Pubby Attorney General;
I’ll sell off all your resources, animal, vegetable, or mineral;
I rewrite the Constitution, to remove the rights historical
From speedy trials to no free speech, in order categorical
I run the halls of Justice, and cover up the news,
Not only is she blindfolded, but I’ve covered up her boobs!
So, Ava, how you doin’? 
Heh.
Buh Bye, Ashy! Don’t let the doorknob hit you in the ass.
The question now is can Bush find someone even more unpopular than a guy who once lost an election to a rotting corpse.
please don’t challenge worse. I"ve come to believe that George is a classic over achieving under achiever.
Never ask that question.
Be fair, Diogenes – Carnahan wasn’t rotting yet, just dead. I suppose they preferred someone with all-over rigor mortis to one where it had only affected the brain! 
I think that’s rather inappropriate and even insulting, Diogenes.
Most corpses in the United States are embalmed.
I’m disappointed. I was hoping he’d resigned because of some kind of sex scandal.
Hell, Ashcroft is rotting and he isn’t even dead yet.
Ashcroft resigned? Oh, Jesus! They’re purging the moderates!
Geez, people, get a freaking grip! Have you actually LOOKED at this Cabinet? Without John Ashcroft, this is the Ford Administration (in a few cases, LITERALLY!).
As of the moment he resigned, the religious Right has NOBODY in the Bush Cabinet. The Ripon Society now runs Washington again.
Not that it really matters- John Ashcroft didn’t do ANY of the awful things his enemies were sure he’d do, but Lefties STILL work themselves into apoplexy over the alleged fascist state he created. (Forgive me, but I’ve looked around for signs of fascism, and they just don’t exist!). At this point, Bush could nominate Lincoln Chafee to replace Ashcroft, and we’d still see rjung and elucidator screaming in terror!
