A lot of good those contributions did him, he still lost to a dead guy. And you thought Gore was stiff! LOL:)

I'm sure he will have himself investigated and charged. It is good to know we have people of Christian moral fiber running our Justice Department


Edit: There is always the possibility as will be suggested further into the thread, that he's not personally responsible.

As much as I detest Ashcroft it might be a case where his underlings or campaign staff were at fault, not him.

Yeah but we can still blame him.

And justifiably so. The buck stops at the candidate's desk.

A lot of good it would do. It's not as if he is in an electable office.

His meritorious service redounds, however, to the credit of his appointer.
