Yeah, don’t eat pizza because it is Italian food and you know how those Italians forged those Niger Yellow Cake documents before the lead up to the Iraq war. So, we killed one of the top intelligence guys, when we were just trying to kill an anti-Bush Italian reporter.
We could change the name to Freedom Pie.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:19 pmJust think of all the damage to the enviroment from those pizzas!…The horror of it all!! He should meet with Arab Sheiks like Murtha then it would be okay.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:19 pmYou mean like Bush holding hands and kissing one of the Arab Sheiks in the Blue Bonnet Garden?

February 27th, 2007 at 3:26 pmThere’s always a risk he’ll start anointing people with pizza grease. Ethics aren’t the only concern at an Ashcroft pizza party.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:29 pmLooks like Wayne Newton’s injunction to stop that pizza party…
…to prevent old Johnny from performing that old standard…
…”When the Eagle Soaarrrrs”….
…was successful…
hehehehehe!!!!!!
February 27th, 2007 at 3:29 pmAny idea where they are getting the pizza from¿
February 27th, 2007 at 3:38 pmMake mine a large- hold the ethics.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:52 pmJabba the Hut has a party at Pizza Hut. Yippee.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:54 pmI couldn’t choke any food in Ashcroft’s presence. :P
February 27th, 2007 at 3:56 pmDo over:
I couldn’t choke [down] any food in Ashcroft’s presence. :P
Oy.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:57 pmBeware of pizza parties, held by Mark Foley, and valiant venus! You’ll end up in an S&M dungeon, or an Israeli prison.
February 27th, 2007 at 4:01 pmVirgin Mary on a Pizza Pan?HOUSTON, TX – February 27, 2007 – Some worshippers in Houston are calling this pizza pan something divine.
The pilgrimages all started after workers in the Pugh Elementary School kitchen spotted the image while cleaning a pizza pan. They say the image that appears on the pan is of the Virgin Mary.
Hundreds are stopping by to drop off candles, rosaries, even money. A church is not far away.
True believes don’t care if Catholic leaders are not ready to call this a miracle. They are telling reporters that, for them, the image leaves them feeling warm and safe.
February 27th, 2007 at 4:01 pmyawn. This is a witch hunt. If you want to call that unethical, you might as well lump this in with every pizza night colleges offer across the nation. Unless they get gold watches, this story is a great example of how retarded our blogosphere has become
February 27th, 2007 at 4:06 pmsomeone could give Ashcroft a slice with strategically placed olives atop a pair of pepperonis… see if he ties to drape his napkin over them…….
February 27th, 2007 at 4:11 pmYou are inside a kitchen. Being indoors makes people feel safe and the warmth is coming form the ovens. Jeebus.
February 27th, 2007 at 4:23 pmYou mean how Bush meets , and holds hands with Arab Sheikss?
February 27th, 2007 at 4:26 pmgood days work pat, almost quitting time..
Shouldn’t that read
February 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pm“Beware of breathing the same air as John Ashcroft”?
Let me guess: was it Ceaser’s pizza?
February 27th, 2007 at 5:03 pmIf I was the one taking the order for these pizzas here is what I would jot down:
Ashcroft : I would like to order 36 large pizzas, all stuffed crust with everything on them. And 36 sno cones in the name of “global warming”
Me to the cook: Guido, I need 36 large pizzas,stuffed crust with everything on them, heavy on the ground razor blades and I also need 36 waterboard delite sno cones with the hidden IED surprise sprinkles. Heavy on the sprinkles.
February 27th, 2007 at 5:14 pmShucks, I figured TP would surely have the link to Olbermann’s dump on Condosleeza Rice. Anybody got it?
February 27th, 2007 at 5:55 pmstonehinge,
Scroll down, you’ll find it. It’s great!
February 27th, 2007 at 6:08 pm“former Attorney General turned consultant John Ashcroft . . .” Can you imagine buying consulting services from a shit like him? Must be doing “special work” for the Bush White House.
February 27th, 2007 at 6:38 pmHiya Zooey,
I never did find it on the TP RSS feed, but I did find it over at Crooks and Liars. It was worth the download for sure.
Hope you are well. =)
