I was on both BBC radio and BBC TV tonight, talking about the resignation of Attorney General John Ashcroft.
The radio interview wasn’t too bad.
But the TV interviewer essentially took the position that perhaps Mr. May is correct to claim that there has not been a single terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, and maybe John Ashcroft had something to do with that (or it could be an odd coincidence, hard to say, sticky wicket and all that), and maybe it’s true, as you assert, Mr. May, that violent crime is down to a 30-year low.
But, Mr. May, it’s also true, is it not, sir, that John Ashcroft has been known to conduct prayer breakfasts?
Yes, yes, yes! I confess! It’s true! It’s all true!
Oh, the scandal! The horror! The shame!
