&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is from a &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/09/magazine/09rosen.html?_r=1&amp;amp;amp;pagewanted=all"&gt;book&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Goldsmith"&gt;Jack Goldsmith&lt;/a&gt; who worked under John Ashcroft (2003-4). The New York Times Magazine is publishing an article by Jeffrey Rosen nest Sunday about Goldsmith&amp;#39;s book.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s a sample:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ashcroft, who looked like he was near death, sort of puffed up his chest,&amp;rdquo; Goldsmith recalls. &amp;ldquo;All of a sudden, energy and color came into his face, and he said that he didn&amp;rsquo;t appreciate them coming to visit him under those circumstances, that he had concerns about the matter they were asking about and that, in any event, he wasn&amp;rsquo;t the attorney general at the moment; Jim Comey was. He actually gave a two-minute speech, and I was sure at the end of it he was going to die. It was the most amazing scene I&amp;rsquo;ve ever witnessed.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a bit of silence, Goldsmith told me, Gonzales thanked Ashcroft, and he and Card walked out of the room. &amp;ldquo;At that moment,&amp;rdquo; Goldsmith recalled, &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mrs. Ashcroft, who obviously couldn&amp;rsquo;t believe what she saw happening to her sick husband, looked at Gonzales and Card as they walked out of the room and stuck her tongue out at them.&lt;/strong&gt; She had no idea what we were discussing, but this sweet-looking woman sticking out her tongue was the ultimate expression of disapproval. It captured the feeling in the room perfectly.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have only one thing to say: QOUTAEXZGALUAGU!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think that just about says it all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;James Comey has a story to tell...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Former Deputy Attorney General James Comey went before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, May 15th, 2007.  And he had quite a story to tell about the night the administration tried to get the approval of an illegal program from a sick man in a hospital bed, former Attorney General John Ashcroft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
