What's happening with John Ashcroft?

Here’s his photo from the San Francisco Chronicle from last week, 05/27/2004.

Here’s one from the U.K. Guardian from 2001

Looks the same to me, he’s just making a different face. I think of that scowl as the normal Ashcroft countenance.

Looks the same to me, too.

Eerily the same.

I wonder if he has a mysterious painting in his attic and, if so, does it have draperies over its naughty bits?

I can only imagine the fun in wearing an Ashcroft mask to a Greenpeace rally.

I believe what you’re seeing is his recent constipation.

The only difference I can see in the expression. In the 2001 photo, he’s…smiling? It doesn’t look natural on him.

I’m more accustomed to the dour expression in the more recent photo–I’ve seen that same look in earlier photos, too.

Somewhere, a fly just lost his wings.

The strain of three years’ effort at destroying the Bill of Rights is finally starting to show.

God, he is an ugly SOB, isn’t he?

When it happened to Gollum there were no cameras there to record the progress.

Only difference.

The diet of kitten eyeballs and the daily injections of rat blood are taking their toll. This is what happens to you when you lust incessantly after the cellulite in Lynn Cheney’s thighs.

The part I noticed is that the word “Justice” gets really blurry when the AG is near.

Because he insists on covering her up.

In that scowling link, what you don’t see is the calico cat that just crossed his path.

His moral cancer finally starting to present symptoms.
