Everyone keeps calling me to talk about Missouri Senator Ashcroft being named Attorney General by Bush. Well, we in Missouri worked and worked and worked to get Senator Ashcroft out of the Senate. I am proud to say that he is no longer my representative in the United States Senate. Now, of course, he will be everyone's problem as Attorney General. But don't worry, he's only more right wing, partisan, conservative, and crazy than you could ever imagine. In fact, he was declared the most right-wing Senator by the National Journal (and that includes a Senate with Senator Jesse Helms). Happy holidays!
