It’s hard to believe over a month has passed since Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft debuted his patriotic/evangelical hymn, “Let The Eagle Soar,” at a seminary in North Carolina, and the anthem united the country behind a common image. In less than 24 hours, our nation will again be brought together as Ashcroft is scheduled to appear on the “Late Show with David Letterman”. No offense to Dave, but his rendition of the song pales in comparison to the original. With any luck, Ashcroft will also take the opportunity to pass on more nuggets of wisdom about religious tolerance and sensitivity. I won’t need TiVo to remember to watch this show.

Update: The show’s over, but I won’t be posting an update on Ashcroft’s appearance except to say that the Atty. General verified my suspicions that he is a genuinely unlikeable person.
