John Ashcroft book reviews needs DU love.
Yep..he wrote a book.
Here is a too obviusly planted review:
"In light of the United State's war on terrorism, I found it very comforting to learn that Ashcroft, one of America's leaders in that war, is grounded on a foundation of ethics, morals, and integrity."

Here is one I liked:
"On the first day of his Senate confirmation hearings, John Ashcroft raised his right hand and vowed, "I swear to unhold the laws of the United States of America, so help me God".

On the second day, after confirmation, he broke that oath...
So goes the life of John "trustworthy" Ashcroft. "

As you may know you can rate reviews, up or down, or better yet, write reviews on the website, if you are signed in.
I'll be busy on this page; feel free to vote along with me:

13. You can answer if someone else's review was helpful...
Does not mean you read the book.
Means...is the review helpful.

To whom and for what, that is for you to decide.
I personally found it helpful when someone wrote Ashcroft lied, etc.

4. change the name, the travesty still the same!
this was previously called 'Lessons From a Father to His Son' in 1998 and you can get a hardcover new copy for a buck ninety-five!

6. As of this post: 2 out of 5 stars...
Doesn't look good, John. Maybe we should cover up this rating, like Lady Justice's breasts?

11. Think of it as a cyberkick at that clown. Keep the love coming.

I have noticed MANY ex-Bushie folks have bad bad book sales.

Maybe, in some small way, we helped?
