Ashcroft and Evans resign
http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=74972§ion=news

WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft and Commerce Secretary Don Evans resigned Tuesday, the first members of President Bush's Cabinet to leave as he headed from re-election into his second term.

The resignations were announced by White House press secretary Scott McClellan, who said Bush had accepted the decisions of both secretaries.

"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved," Ashcroft wrote in a five-page, handwritten letter to Bush.

How? By asskroft retiring?
Look on the bright side, now he will have time to take singing lessions.

1. I challenge anyone to pick Evans out of a line-up
Having said that, thank Christ Ashcroft is gone. But I can only imagine what horror awaits us next.

6. Remember the rumors
that Ashcroft will be appointed to the SC?

He was a senator. Maybe the repugs think he will slide into the court easier that way.

But I doubt that will the case. He is probably cashing in while the getting is good.
