I just heard Ashcroft say "Weapons of Evil Chemistry" !!!???!!!

[barbaraann]

This was on a local news show so I don't know if it's going to be shown anywhere else. He was trying to defend the administration from what David Kay has said. He said that Saddam had "weapons of evil chemistry." Geez.

Has anyone else heard this?

[glarius]

1. I think he's got him mixed up with the Wizard of Oz...hahahaha n/t

[VOX]

2. Is this when two people get together who shouldn't?

You know, the opposite of "good chemistry?"

Leave it to Asscroft.

[cprise]

3. He sounds like

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!!!

[mainer]

4. He also said evil biology

I can't remember the exact quote, but I did hear it too. Something along long the lines of weapons of "evil chemistry and evil biology." I turned to my husband and said, "Evil biology? Is he referring to gay sex?"

5. Here's the evidence:

Turns out the weapons inspectors found this:



Note how those two Iraqi kids on the box are mixing EVIL weapons with chemistry.
Okay, the kid in the goggles probably isn't evil, but he sure looks like he's up to no good.

6. I'm dying laughing, guys!

:silly:

7. These idiots sound like

Pinky and The Brain to me more and more.

[yankeeinlouisiana]

17. Only Pinky & the Brain were

much more entertaining!!

;-)

[camero]

20. Yes they were

:)

8. AP story:

“ ‘I believe there is a very clear understanding that Saddam Hussein continued to pose a threat,’ Ashcroft said.
“ ‘Weapons of mass destruction including evil chemistry and evil biology are all matters of great concern, not only to the United States but also to the world community. They were the subject of U.N. resolutions,’ he said.”
(sorry, don't have a link on me)

9. and worst of all

Saddam may have been practicing evil-lution!

[diamond14]

18. I've seen 'evil chemistry' for real (photo)....

Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, just outside Denver, Colorado located on a high plateau, to guarantee that all the pollution flows down to highly populated areas around Denver...sad...all the 'evil' spewed out of this place guarantees that "we have poisoned ourselves" with our own nuke manufacturing toxins...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. They really, really need...

To smack a 5lb Thorazine suppository up Ashcroft's ass with a 16lb sledgehammer and remove him from his position. The boy really must hear voices. Not god. Just faulty R2 receptors in his head.

[RapidCreek]

14. Hehehehe

Let's put a drape in front of him...he's an embarrassment.

11. Mr. Evil talking about evil

Why doesn't he or someone tell us why over a dozen bio scientists died within a suspiciously short time right during the killing and post-killing period?

Why are they all dead - supposedly top experts in bio-chemistry.

Guess a drape was draped.

[diamond14]

12. will have to notify my colleagues IMMEDIATELY....

this will greatly concern all chemists....

13. i thought for sure that he meant something along these lines

maybe that will be a theme of the super bowl ad?

[diamond14]

23. love your stereochemistry....

want to check out my FLASH...Periodic Table of the Elements?..
caution....hot stuff...

15. Beware!

Hot off the wires:

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a
public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a
calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he
believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is
being
charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,", Ashcroft said. "They desire average
solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and
refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they
belong* to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in
every country.

"As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every
triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted
us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more
fingers and toes.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on
protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with
calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every
sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences,
we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential
to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we
become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of
vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my
ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to
multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their
necks.

Or sniffing callico cats' asses?

[madaboutharry]

19. "Weapons of Evil Chemistry," those were

my in-laws before their divorce!!!

[frank frankly]

22. I read it in the NYTimes

and gagged

[Dudley_DUright]

24. Yes, he also said "evil biology"

(and as a physicist I demand to know why "evil physics" did not make Crisco Johnny's axis of evil science!) We had a thread on this in LBN earlier.
