Chavez and Ashcroft

[Michael McIntyre]

Linda Chavez as unwitting acolyte of the sanctuary movement?  Let's see now - you "allow" someone who is at risk of deportation to stay in your house.  Out of "gratitude" she cleans your house for you.  Out of "charity" you occasionally throw her a few bucks.  Compassion enabling hyperexploitation in my book.

As for Ashcroft, the worst part of that interview in Souther Partisan wasn't his formulaic praise of Jackson and Lee.  It came when he suggested that the pro-confederate Missouri legislature-in-exile was the legitimate state government.  That's a remark so obscure, and so unlikely to gain Ashcroft support from anyone but a few crazies with very long memories, that it can only be an expression of what he really thinks.
