Ashcroft Funny

According to the Corner, John Ashcroft likes to tell a version of this joke:

Ashcroft visited a first grade class and was taking questions from the kids. One of them, Johnny, gets up and says, in a tough voice,'Mr. Ashcroft, I have three questions. First, why did you cover the statues at the Justice Department? Second, why are you holding people in Guantanamo Bay, and third, does the PATRIOT Act intrude on our civil liberties.' Before the AG could answer, the recess bell rang and the kids all ran out on the playground.

After recess, little Sally, picking up where it was left off, stood up and said: 'I have five questions. First, why did you cover the statues at the Justice Department? Second, why are you holding people in Guantanamo Bay, and third, does the PATRIOT Act intrude on our civil liberties. Fourth, why was recess thirty minutes early today? And fifth, where is Johnny?!?'
