Former Attorney General John Ashcroft responded angrily on Tuesday to
Congressional Democrats who suggested that a no-bid private contract awarded to
him by the Justice Department last year amounted to a "backroom, sweetheart
deal" that would earn his consulting firm tens of millions of dollars.



How angry were they when BJ awarded Halliburton no-bid contracts in
the Balkans?

"But, Clinton...but, Clinton..."

Out of office over 7 years and the wingnuts are still obsessed. 'Tis pitiful.

Actually it is called "history", sort of like, "in 1861 the Southern
States of the United states attempted to secede from the union thus
precipitating the U.S. Civil War". In law it would be called a
"precedent".

Then of course, there are those who wish to rewrite history.....

You mean like the southerners who insist the Civil War was started by the
north and call it the War of Northern Aggression? I call those people
conservatives.

History calls them Southern Democrats.

Same people. They're conservatives whatever you choose to call them.
