Ashcroft was asked about this today. He shucked and jived. Did the Reno rag: under investigation, we are looking into everything...blah...blah...blah.

Bush is doing great. Ashcroft and Thompson may have to go. Nobody wants to hear this crap. We need people who will either tell us the facts or tell us they can't tell us the facts. Americans respect either. They don't respect song and dance men.

Guliani for AG. After all those miserable years with Reno we need a straight talking kick-a$$ general in charge.

I agree. Ashcroft has been a major disappointment. He doesn't seem to understand that, now that he has the job, he can stop kowtowing to the Senate Democrats. The hearings are over. He's supposed to be working for America, not for Teddy Kennedy.

Neither Ashcroft nor Thompson has been particularly impressive. Funny, I was thinking the same thing as you, just this morning.

I would add Colin Powell to that list, but at least he has quieted down the last week about adding every terrorist state to our coalition and not attacking Iraq.

Who has done a good job is Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, and Norm Mineta. Thompson has been the worst. I have been very dissapointed in the way he has handled the anthrax situation. Do we even have a confirmed Surgeon General? Maybe that person should be handling this issue instead of Tommy Thompson.

Do you have some perfect person in mind to replace them. Given President Bush's loyalty factor and the untried circumstances I think he will cut them a little slack. I'm sure if they screw up in a major way he will handle it. He knows what it's like to be critized for not being perfect.
