Attorney General John Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school.
After the typical civics presentation, he announces: "Alright, boys
and girls, you can all ask me questions now."
A young boy named Bobby raises his hand and says: "I have three
questions:
1. How did Bush steal the Florida election from Gore?
2. Why are you using the US Patriot Act to undermine our civil
liberties?
3. Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden or Saddam & Sons 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 five questions:
1. How did Bush steal the Florida election from Gore?
2. Why are you using the US Patriot Act to undermine our civil
liberties?
3. Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden or Saddam & Sons yet?"
4. Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early?
5. Where's Bobby?"
