"Bush Names Ashcroft Att. General
By Scott Lindlaw
Associated Press Writer
Friday, Dec. 22, 2000; 10:52 a.m. EST

AUSTIN, Texas –– President-elect Bush nominated defeated Missouri Sen. John Ashcroft to be attorney general on Friday, choosing a conservative Republican who lost his re-election bid to a dead man.

"An effective attorney general must be a person of prudent character and executive ability," Bush said. He also said there must be a commitment to "fair and firm and impartial administration of justice. ..."

By this single appointment in replacing Janet Reno, Bush's administration is assured of success. It's too bad that we cannot know who Gore would have appointed.
