Anticlimactic Ashcroft

So, John Ashcroft, election loser to a dead guy, has resigned. We should all be ecstatic that this incompetent (no matter what you hear about his fighting terrorism, just remember, he was more concerned about jailing prostitutes and medicinal drug users than stopping terrorists (quick--how many terrorists have been tried and convicted during his tenure) Puritan hack is gone. But after the Bush win last week, and the fact that he's not leaving in handcuffs or because of some big blowup like the Valerie Plame scandal, it's like, who cares? One of the big things I was looking forward to with a Kerry victory was that John Ashcroft would be out of a job.

Oh, well. Just looking forward to see which zealot Bush will appoint to take his place. I imagine many people on the left will be so excited about Ashcroft leaving that they won't even bother to see what monster takes his place.
