"Glad to see Ashcroft go. He was a good senator but a bad AG who was the leader in pushing for statist measures he actually fought as senator.
I want to see a nice pro-2a AG."
Amen. When Ashcroft got offended by the breasts of a statue, I began longingly awaiting his departure. Good riddance.
For the record, the network cameramen were screwing with Ashcroft, ensuring that the bare breast appeared in the camera shot. Ashcroft is in the Great Hall of DOJ giving serious briefings in the aftermath of the Twin Towers and juvenile cameramen are trying to give us Twin Peaks. This wasn't the first administration to experience this effect, either. Remember how happy were were to have adults in charge back then? Well, shame on Ashcroft for trying to restore some decorum to deadly serious briefings. Shame on him too for mishandling the PR. He should have come right out and said why the distraction was eliminated.
That doesn't mean he'd be a good Justice ... just wanted to set the record straight on the urban legend of boobgate. One source, among others, including snopes.
