In response to your remarks, the bar was at its lowest with people like Clinton and Reno. Anyone who is above that bar is better, in my opinion.
As I pointed out, if you consider Ashcroft's past record, he has supported conservative causes often, because he believes that the American people ARE intelligent (despite the Clinton administration's best efforts at dumbing us all down).
So in essence you are confirming what I said. Which was a tongue-in-cheek insult designed to knock you off your pedestal of ignorance but you choose to take it as a validation of your intelligence. Alrighty then!
ROTFLMAO
