Scary John Ashcroft
Are there any calico cats at the residence?" they inquired of embassy staff. Ashcroft, who would be dining with Schneider, considered such creatures "instruments of the Devil," his people explained.
This reproduced article from Vanity Fair paints Ashcroft as bigoted against women, minorities, gays, and non-Christians and an extreme fundamentalist. It amazes me how horribly people can twist Christianity into justifications for their own narcissism, intolerance, and power-lust. John Ashcroft is a seriously scary man to have the kind of power he does.
