I feel ashamed...

I seriously thought to myself, just for half a second, "hey, maybe he'll die..."

Ashcroft hospitalized with gallstone complications

But that's not nice no matter how awful you think he is. So let's just hope he's too sick to commit to another 4 years.

Update: He's still in intensive care. And with more thought, I feel even worse about my initial reaction. Here's to hoping he recovers fully, because I really don't wish any ill on him or his family – I just wish he wasn't Attorney General.

For my part, I think he was too sick to work the first four. I wonder, though, if this is God's ironic answer to Pat Robertson's prayers. Not that we'll ever know, of course, because only Pat knows what God really intends, and he would want to handle this one on the down-low.

If you wish he weren't Attorney General, you need to vote the President that appointed him (and supports him and all his actions whole-heartedly) out of office.

Even if he did die, what makes you think his replacement would be any different?
