Ashcroft's New Gig

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft is going into the security business:

Ashcroft is starting a company that will offer "strategic consulting, security and internal investigative services, and crisis counseling," to major corporations, a spokesperson for the new firm said on Monday. ...His new firm will advise clients on issues including homeland security, law enforcement, corporate compliance, antitrust law and intellectual property protection, the spokesperson said.

Joining Ashcroft at the Washington-based firm will be his long-time chief of staff David Ayres, and Juleanna Glover Weiss, a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney and other Republicans.

Anything that gives Giuliani competition can't be all bad.

    Ridge is color-coding and duct tape. Ashcroft is statue drapery, ailurophobia, and Crisco anointing. His will be an interesting consultancy, especially as the intrepid outlook of his free spirit grows stronger.

    Ghost, Is Ashcroft afraid of all cats or just calico cats (b/c they are a supposed manifestation of the Devil)?
