Is this really your idea of fun?
IMHO yes. Bill scours the internet looking for old articles(changes their titles to suit his conspiracy du jour) and then links them all and sits back and basically yells, "conspiracy".
Smearing good people like Bush and Ashcroft is all in a days work for Bill, IMHO.

"It is not possible to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' while deliberately violating the law.."

George H.W. Bush
Q. Mr. President, on the Christmas Eve pardons, does it give the appearance that Government officials are above the law?
The President. No, it should not give any such appearance. Nobody is above the law. I believe when people break the law, that's a bad thing. I've read some stupid comment to the contrary. And of course, I feel that way. But the Constitution is quite clear on the powers of the President. And sometimes a President has to make a very difficult call, and that's what I've done.
But I'm glad you asked it, because I've read some rather frivolous reporting that I don't care about the law. I pride myself on 25 or more years of public service, of serving honorably, decently, and with my integrity intact. And certainly I wouldn't feel that way if I had a lack of respect for the law. And I don't think there is one single thing in my career that could lead anybody to look at my record and make a statement of that nature. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear it up.
Thank you all.
