Do you think it is a surprise that Ashcroft comes out with another vague warning on the day Al Gore drops a neutron bomb of a speech at NYU? Anyone who’s seen Control Room or at least an episode of “The West Wing” can see that he’s desperately trying to bury the Gore speech and fear-monger the agenda of status quo into the lead spot in tomorrow’s news cycle. (Even Tom Ridge seemed kinda baffled by the lack-of-news announcement, refusing to up the color coded terror level.)
The joke is on Ashcroft AND Gore — the big story is that Fantasia is the new American Idol. Can’t either of them consult TV Guide??????
