Please remember that you are a guest here, and that you are our token pseudo-moderate RW mascot. Poet is generous to a fault. Don't take advantage of her hospitality. Translation: Read the header. Know your place. Stay there or get out..

Yep, Baldy ... Ashcroft is indeed a slap in the face to all of us, ... but apparently, you're too _________ (that's the acronym for the word, "blank," Baldy)... [edit for non-censorable content to please SI] to notice. Could result going forward that his appointment will prove to affect your life in a negative way, as well. Do you right wingers ever get your heads out from under the brown paper bags you choose to view the world to consider that possibility? 'b-i-a' ###

Mr. Bush met with members from the Black Caucus at The White House yesterday. Here is an excerpt from that meeting. From Online News Hour with Jim Lehrer KWAME HOLMAN: Mr. Bush got only a tiny percentage of the African American vote and many still are angry about the disproportionate impact of Florida's voting problems on blacks. REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS: One of our main concerns was bringing to him the pain that so many people are feeling about the election and we expressed to him the fact that one of his major concerns early on was to heal the country. And we reminded him that part of the problem was that it did not seem there was a strong commitment with regard to addressing the problem which came up in the election in Florida. And we spent quite a bit of time with regard to Mr. Ashcroft. What was said there was that we are vehemently against Mr. Ashcroft's appointment, because we believe that his policies in the past, his actions, not only as a Senator, but as an Attorney General and as a Governor, has --have flown in the face of the concerns of our constituents and so many people that the President claims he wants to help bring about this healing. I think we are clear that the jury is still out. pbs.org
