Ashcroft on CNN and Dumb as a brick
John Ashcroft was just on CNN with Wolf Blitzer.

You need to remember that Ashcroft was one the top attorney in the government yet he completely crumbled under the questioning of that well known legal scholar Wolf Blitzer.

Ashcroft was completly unable to defend his torture policies or rebut the David Kou charges

7. Ashcroft's type of pentecostalism DOES NOT involve snake handling
He did jump on the relatively recent pentecostal practice of 'annointing with oil.' I think he did it to himself, which from what I observed of local pentecostal practice, is NOT DONE.

10. I believe the story was that his father did it and the only oil available
at the moment was Crisco cooking oil.

Public servant? Or salad? Public servant? Or deep-fried lawyer?

You decide.

4. I heard his interview on Franken's show; ergo, I could NOT
even consider the possibility of a shadow of a thought crossing my mind of even thinking about the idea of wondering whether or not I should decide on the issue of debating the pros and cons of watching Ashcroft on CNN.

So, I am glad that someone reported on it.

8. Did he sing?
I heard an interview with him about his singing. He said that he is not allowed to dance b/c of his religion so when he sings, to get his groove on, he faces different directions while singing - but NO SWAYING ALLOWED. What a freak!:wtf:
