WASHINGTON — Retiring Attorney General John Ashcroft (search), the one-time senator from Missouri, said he thinks some of his former colleagues are on the wrong track when it comes to creating roadblocks to the confirmation of his would-be successor, former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales (search).

"I've sat on both sides of that table in the Senate. I went through a difficult confirmation proceeding of my own," Ashcroft told FOX News on Thursday in one of his last media interviews before retiring from the post.

"But I'm not going to advise the Senate Democrats on politics. I'm delighted that the president's understanding of politics has been endorsed overwhelmingly by the American people and whether they want to learn from that or not, is up to them," he said.

Ashcroft also praised the president's steady hand in the long-term fight against terrorism. "I met with the president this morning. I intend to meet with him tomorrow morning. I met with him yesterday morning. Every morning he assesses what it is we can do to win another day in the War on Terror," he said. "It's the kind of effort that you can only win one day at a time."

1. Aw,

go back to singing your crappy songs, you jackass.

[NYCGirl]

2. An interview with Ashcroft from Fox "News" is a puff piece

for the administration.

Duh.

[fishwax]

3. uh, yeah, overwhelmingly

:eyes:

they're going to repeat that little lie for a few more years, and eventually it will turn into history.

4. As Christie Whitman said on TDS last night, it was the smallest margin

of victory for any incumbent President in recent history - smaller than Truman beating Dewey.

[Supersedeas]

13. smaller margin than Truman beating Dewey--and were we at war during the

election and was the 'enemy's' statement regarding the election blasted across the major media outlets on the weekend before the election?

Smaller than Truman...and smaller still.

5. hey asscrack...50.8% WHAT mandate you NITWIT?

[kimchi]

6. And approval at 44.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure our Great Leader is loved by the people. And I heard he was increasing our chocolate rations too.

[WI_DEM]

7. Since when is a 50-48 percent victory in the popular vote

and a 286-252 electoral vote considered "overwhelming"??? and yet the media lets these jackoffs get away with it. I can remember in '96 when Clinton won a much bigger electoral victory and beat Dole by 8-points in the popular vote that the media still harped because he didn't crack 50%.

[Acryliccalico]

8. WHAT reality is he living in?

[4_TN_TITANS]

9. What an ass.....

I loved in F9/11 where Moore brought to light that Ashcroft lost his senate race to a dead guy.....

[Catfight]

10. Ashcroft was a mistake, Democrats are trying not to REPEAT their

mistakes like the current administration is becoming notorious for. America barely survived the misguided aspirations of AssCroft I hardly think we could survive the torture years of Gonzales.

11. Say it and it will be so.

[RUDUing2]

12. no surprise..afterall this is asscrap talking..

just count yourselves lucky you only had to deal with him in a power position for 4 yrs...I am from Missouri...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Is that where he lost the election to a dead opponent? n/t

[RUDUing2]

20. yep...I voted for the dead guy...figured a dead man would represent me

better in congress then a live asscrap...

[KissMeKate]

[fooj]

16. Oops! Out of the loop already, Johnny? It's the War on Tyranny now!

God, he is creepy! And "learn" what ....that these evil bastards will come after you with every piece of their being if you don't AGREE with them? Yes. Unfortunately, the ENTIRE world is aware now! UGGHHH!

[pbartch]

18. When the EAGLE has Ashcroft in his talons, I hope the Eagle drops him

Ashcroft is brain dead and he's a dam liar.

Bush was NOT overwhelmingly re-elected.

[alexisfree]

19. my ass!

[Endangered Specie]

21. The sad part is...

they probably believe their own lies.

[Dark]

23. 51% IS NOT AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.n/t

[GRLMGC]

24. Uh no

49% still hate your stupid asses. 48% for Kerry and 1% who couldn't stand to vote for those assholes. So no, McCokespoon has no overwhelming endorsement. Go away, Ashcroft to your S&M and your crappy songwriting.

25. and if his kid brought home a 51/100 grade ....

I suppose it indicates "doing overwhelmingly well" at school?
