1. i started choking on a black jelly bean

very bad stuff. To think if only would he have been good at singing... tommy chong wouldn't be in prison!

[snippy]

2. Thankfully no. However, your question reminded me that Ashcroft

sometimes spends our tax dollars having DOJ employees sing along and requesting that hispanic employees at DOJ translate his songs.

From a March 2002 article:

Since John Ashcroft became US attorney general last year, workers at the department of justice have become accustomed to his daily prayer meetings, but some are now drawing the line at having to sing patriotic songs penned by their idiosyncratic boss.

Mr Ashcroft, a devout Christian and a grittily determined singer, went public with one of his works last month, when he surprised an audience at a North Carolina seminary with a rendition of Let the Eagle Soar, a tribute to America's virtues, which continues: "Like she's never soared before, from rocky coast to golden shore, let the mighty eagle soar," and so on for four minutes.

The performance (which can be seen and heard at cnn.com/video/us/2002/02/25/ashcroft.sings.wbtv.med.html) was accompanied only by taped music, but Mr Ashcroft's staff are complaining that printed versions of the song are being distributed at meetings so that they will be able to join in.

When asked why she opposed the workplace singalong, one of the department's lawyers said: "Have you heard the song? It really sucks."

A group of Hispanic justice department employees were recently summoned to see the attorney general, and went along hoping that their boss might be making a special effort to promote diversity in the department's higher ranks.

Instead, they were asked to provide a hasty Spanish lesson to give the secretary a few phrases to use on a foreign delegation the next day. The Hispanic staff were then handed printed copies of Let the Eagle Soar and asked for volunteers to translate it.

[TimMooring]

9. Employees must sing

I heard that at least at one point DOJ staffers were required to sing that awful song with him - before some eventually refused.

[TimMooring]

10. sorry saw the post to late

I've seen him with the Singing Senators and he throws everybody off key.

[The Night Owl]

13. I thought the song's title was "Let The Evil Soar".

:evilgrin:

[swag]

15. Hey, that's Fascistcroft's original composition

I wish Wesley Willis had covered "Let the Eagle Soar."

[jimshoes]

6. Heard him. He would have been a hit on Lawence Welk

Sappy type stuff.

[devinsgram]

7. Sickening, wasn't it

LOL to the point of getting side stitches. He evidently has no shame. And just think, he makes his staff listen to this shit.OOOOOOOOOO just the thought makes me cringe.

One really dangerous klansman.

11. Holy shit that's terrible!!

And I'm not just saying that because it's John Asscrotch. It is truly horrible :puke:

[Lex]

12. How deluded is Asscroft?

He actually thinks he is talented.

Pathetically deluded.

[Bozita]

14. Didn't Ashcroft sing in a group with some other senators?

Trent Lott was another. IIRC, Orrin Hatch was in it too.

Horrible stuff.

[swag]

16. Yes, those Singing Senators, omni-talented lads, that lot,

all with the same barber as well!

I wish they'd compose and perform an Operetta based on Bill Frist's genealogical memoir "Good People Beget Good People":
