Twenty people walked out during Ashcroft speech
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 10:28 PM by ProSense
President Bush “has been more respectful of civil liberties and civil rights than any previous wartime president in the history of the United States,” John Ashcroft said during a speech in North Carolina Tuesday. “His 50-minute speech…was interrupted frequently by shouts from the crowd and, at one point, at least 20 people stood up and walked out together.”

1. My my, whatever next?
People will be storming the Bastille before we know it. Looks like the reign of the "Son King" is getting ever shakier.

3. He's still alive?
Did he have a question and answer?

Question: Mr. Ashcroft, why were commercial airlines unsafe for you to fly that summer but fine and dandy for me, you heartless, gutless son of a bitch?

6. The first thing Asscrap did when he got into office
was to go to New Orleans and arrest prostitutes. That's how concerned he was about terrorism.

8. And it took him over a year to find 12 prostitutes to arrest and charge
You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on Asscrack. One prostitute a month in NO. That's a stellar record for someone in charge of the entire FBI.

24. He probably had to personally "interview" them to make sure they were
really prostitutes. You can't be too sure, ya know.

11. If you recall, that was going to be THE main thrust of the bush
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 11:49 PM by calimary
Justice Department - a crackdown on porn. That was their priority, and they got Mr. Priscilla Goodbody in as AG. When somebody's that hung up about it, it makes me wonder if maybe he keeps a stash of women's underwear in his - er - um - closet. In HIS size.

I'm JUST SAYING...

PSST - something maybe some of us might consider planting as a rumor against some of the bad guys running for reelection in a coupla months...

Hey - I'm JUST SAYING...

22. And then wasn't the second thing arresting Tommy Chong?
Edited on Sun Sep-17-06 09:43 AM by catzies
He was all about "undoing the damages of the '60s."

edit: that was the THIRD thing. The second was the blue drapes on the statues.

30. Don't Forget Covering Up Justice's Bewbies!
Don't forget Asscroft ordering the statue of Justice be covered with a burka because he didn't like the sight of her bare breasts! :D

14. was that quote
meant to be qualified? such as... any wartime president elected after 2000 who started his own fake war? at least it would be true then since there are no other presidents to compare with. I think it takes this type of tortured logic to understand them.

31. Holy Christ, what planet is THIS dumbshit living on??!?
Instead of walking out, they should've just wheeled in a titty-statue (like the one he used to cover up at the justice department) in behind him on the stage...

32. The guy annoints himself like an old testament prophet every morning
and has a deadly fear of those satanic calico cats.

Any more questions regarding his sanity?
