In 50 words or less...
Tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of words have been committed to paper and pixel in attempts to capture the essence of the dangers and damages residing in the person of our current Attorney General. After all that, it took Jeanne d’Arc of Body and Soul a mere 45 words to distill Ashcroft’s pathological influence, his anti-democratic monstrosity, his loutish disregard for American values and American freedoms, his utter unfitness to hold the reins of power as America’s lawyer, his absence of common sense and common intellect. Here, in toto, is Jeanne’s explanation of the cluelessness of John Ashcroft:
Most Clueless: How out of it do you have to be to believe that when you’re dealing with suicidal terrorists, the best weapon you have is increasing the number of crimes subject to the death penalty? Yeah, the prospect of death—that will deter them.
That’s only a tiny piece of the eloquence of Jeanne d’Arc. She comes very, very highly recommended. I just wish she would set up her blog to ping weblogs.com so that I’d know about her new material as soon as she posts it.
