WTF Is It Now?!?

OH, SO NOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM??!
Many religious conservatives who were most instrumental in pressing pReznit Poopypants to appoint Jesus John Ashcroft as attorney general now say they have become deeply troubled by his actions as the leading public figure in the law enforcement drive against terrorism.

Their dismay comes as several Bush advisers have begun complaining that Mr. Ashcroft, with his lifelong politician's fondness for attention, has projected himself too often and too forcefully. More significantly, they say privately that he seems to be overstating the evidence of terrorist threats. Most striking, however, is how some conservatives who were Mr. Ashcroft's biggest promoters have lost enthusiasm. They cite his anti-terrorist positions as enhancing the kind of government power that they instinctively oppose. "His religious base is now quite troubled by what he's done," said Grover "the Gerbil" Norquist, conservative strategist.

Ken Connor, the president of the Family Research Council, said that while he still applauded Mr. Ashcroft's stands on abortion and child pornography, he and many other religious leaders were dismayed by the changes instituted at the Justice Department. Beyond the conservatives' concerns, some White House advisers say Mr. Ashcroft and his two closest aides have behaved as if his personal political standing was a central priority. Well, duh. Idiots. Read the whole thing in The NY Times. And release the calico cats!

QUOTE OF THE DAY!
"Earth to Clinton-haters, come in please: Bill Clinton is not – I repeat, not – the president of the United States any longer. This is your man in the Oval Office now, and while he might not have gotten any blowjobs from interns, he certainly seems to have gotten quite a few from oil company executives at Harken Energy and elsewhere. And Cheney – well, it seems he may have gotten blowjobs, handjobs, every-kind-of-job from Halliburton..." - Michelangelo Signorile at the NY Press.
