John Ashcroft may hold the perfect beliefs of an Attorney General from 125 years ago, but he will never welcome us to Janet Reno's Dance Party and tell us to "Stop moshing!" In fact, Ashcroft is so conservative that he refused to dance at his own gubernatorial inaugural ball in Missouri. Labor Secretary Chao can see over a podium. Clinton...
