See, on first seeing this article, I thought "yay! No more Ashcroft!". Then I read the article. Sometimes I want to be one of the characters from Get Your War On.

"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved," Ashcroft wrote in a five-page, handwritten letter to Bush.

WHAT?!

The objective has been achieved? Then what the fuck did you run for re-election on a platform of homeland security for, Mr. War President? ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE SAME AMERICA? Isn't that declaration kind of premature while you're still in the middle of two wars? We've heard this "Mission Accomplished" bullshit from you people before, and it didn't work out too well the last time either!

Oh my god. I'm so glad this crazy, crazy man has gone. Maybe now he'll concentrate on his singing career.
