We can envision one of Clinton appointees and immediately laugh, cry or just plain gawk...

After law school at the University of Chicago, where Ashcroft met his wife Janet, he taught law for five years in Springfield. Without a whole lot of plotting--he noticed the Republican congressional candidate was unopposed in the primary--Ashcroft ran for Congress in 1972. "It is not logical," his father recalled his son saying, "to criticize the government if you aren't willing to do your part to improve...
