There's a rumor floating around that this whacko's quitting because he might be a nominee for the Supreme Court.

BY CURT ANDERSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS


WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft is likely to leave his post before the start of President Bush's second term, senior aides said Thursday.

Ashcroft, 62, is described as exhausted from leading the Justice Department in fighting the domestic war on terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Stress was a factor in Ashcroft's health problems earlier this year that resulted in removal of his gall bladder.

Wow. I never dreamed that protecting the nation from aluminum boobies would be so hard on your health.

Perhaps we shoulda stuck with the traditional bronze.

Nah. We should have just given it a friendly, little pat and gone about our business. Ashcroft owes us eight grand for that stupid curtain. He's the only one who ever bitched about it, so he owns it.

But now, if rumors are true, he might get to dunk his head in the fry vat at Mickey D's and sit on the Big Bench. I can think of few more revolting sceneros.
