In that case, Ashcroft is an outstanding Attorney General and Bush is an absolutely terrific completely honest President.
Let's see, I'm married. I go to a party, get drunk, pick up a woman, start driving back to my pad to do our thing, drive off a bridge into a river, leave her and the car, go home, and don't call the cops until many hours later. She dies, of course.
And then, belonging to the most powerful family in the state, I use my connections to escape any consequences.
What do you think would have happened to you in those circumstances? (Minus that last line above of course.) Do you think you'd be out of jail yet?
And you have the audacity to complain about GWB using his family connections to escape the consequences of a little bit of minor piddling insider trading?
Aw, come on, Poet, gimme a break. GWB is a saint in comparison. Kennedy KILLED A WOMAN ferchrissakes.
If you don't condemn him and demand his removal from office, don't whine to me about Bush. Bush is strictly a bushleaguer in comparison.
"fine Senator". Sure doesn't say much for the Senate.
