Ascroft
Visits an Elementary School
Attorney
General Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school.
After the typical civics presentation, he announces,
"All right, boys and girls, you can all ask me
questions now."
A young boy named Bobby
raises his hand and says, "I have 3 questions:
1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes
than Gore? 2. Why are you using the USA Patriot
Act to limit Americans' civil liberties? 3. Why
hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?"
Just then the bell sounds
and all the kids run out to the playground. Fifteen
minutes later, the kids come back in class and
again.
Ashcroft says, "I'm sorry
we were interrupted by the bell. Now, you can
all ask me questions."
A young girl raises her
hand and says, "I have 5 questions: 1. How did
Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?
2. Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit
Americans' civil liberties? 3. Why hasn't the
U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet? 4. Why did the
bell go off 20 minutes early? 5. Where's Bobby?"
