John Ashcroft

Check out the McCarthyism Watch at The Progressive every time Ashcroft says you have nothing to worry about [unless you're guilty] with Patriot Act I or II.

According to Ashcroft's biography at the Department of Justice, "Attorney General Ashcroft is committed to confronting injustice by leading a professional Justice Department free from politics, defined by integrity and dedicated to upholding the rule of law. He will make certain that the Justice Department fulfills its promise and honors its heritage-not only by enforcing the rule of law, but by guaranteeing rights for the advancement of all Americans." Be aware that it is customary for people to supply their own biographies to Who's Who, on book jackets or to company web sites.

"It's said that we shouldn't legislate morality. Well, I disagree. I think all we should legislate is morality. We shouldn't legislate immorality."

- John Ashcroft (Charisma Magazine, 1999)

Did You Hear the One About...

Attorney General Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school. After the typical civics presentation, he announces, "Boys and girls, you can now ask me questions.

A young boy named Bobby raises his hand and says, "I have three questions:

"1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?

"2. Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit American's civil liberties?

"3. Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?"

Just then the bell sounds and all the kids run out to the playground.

Fifteen minutes later, the kids come back in class. Ashcroft says, "I'm sorry we were interrupted by the bell. Now, you can all ask me questions."

A young girl raises her hand and says, "I have five questions:

"1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?

"2. Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit Americans' civil liberties?

"3. Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?

"4. Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early?

"5. Where's Bobby?"
