Ashcroft should have moved his podium, himself, like a person in a non-government job would do.
Instead, he spent our money to make an ass of himself.
Well if you are going to bitch don't forget FDR. That statue probably cost more than $8,000 in today's dollars.
Btw, would you like to be in a picture Ashcroft is in on every front page in America?
And like I stated before maybe they can't move where the press conferences are at, due to logistical reasons. that is where the podium is and that is where all the electrical outlets used for media is. Would you rather have him spend $100,000 for a new podium and electrical system?
I'd rather him resign and be remanded into the custody of a mental hospital.
Well if you are going to bitch don't forget FDR. That statue probably cost more than $8,000 in today's dollars.
Oh I get it. Since FDR blew tax money for aesthetic reasons, its OK for Ashcroft to blow tax money for aesthetic reasons. Very Clintonian reasoning you got there, Eleanor. (Clift not Roosevelt.)
Btw, would you like to be in a picture Ashcroft is in on every front page in America?
Not if it was associated with an article about my spending taxpayer money because boobs scare me. The juxtaposition would be too embarrassing.
If it was accompanying an article about me actually doing something important in service to the country or constitution, I couldnt care less if the statue behind me is showing her nips.
I would like to see the picture on every front page in America, but would then pity those poor, churchlady-men, wrestling, as they are, with the beast of autoeroticism which they never tamed, wracked with guilt for sporting a woody at the sight of some old statue. The very same folks who foam at the mouth about the presence of naked savages in National Geographic.
Can you say "extension cords?" Us ordinary people have been using them for years. Amazing technology for $10 - 15. A bargain at twice the price.
