Spend Valentine’s Day With John Ashcroft!
By Annika Carlson - Oct 15th, 2008 at 1:10 pmNothing says “I love you” like a romantic cruise with John Ashcroft and Tom Tancredo. The Young America’s Foundation cordially invites you to “surprise your sweetheart” with tickets to a ten-night adventure on the high seas with a bunch of über-conservative old white dudes. Because trust me–no girl can say no to spending Valentine’s Day sharing “pressing thoughts with individuals who have done so much to advance the Conservative Movement.”
Here’s the saccharine, weirdly timed invitation (click to enlarge):
Prices start as low as $4,281 per person, so you better reserve your spot while it’s still available.
Some organization like Code Pink should buy up all the tickets and fill that ship with angry Americans and if the neo-cons try and leave have Code Pink sue Nicole Hoplin, the cruse line and every neo-con who jumps ship.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:25 pmTotally–I supposed I SHOULD have used this post to plead with Campus Progress Action to pay for me to go on the cruise and report back.
October 15th, 2008 at 2:02 pmI gotta admit, as far as neocon torture tactics go this is pretty ingenious.
October 15th, 2008 at 4:28 pmWhy would anyone want to spend time with Ed Meese’s corpse?
October 15th, 2008 at 4:34 pmCool! My boyfriend will totally love this.

October 15th, 2008 at 4:58 pmHow dreamy… Spending Valentine’s day with John Ashcroft and Ed Meese and that super hunk, Alan Simpson. Any chance of Jonah Goldberg attending?
October 15th, 2008 at 5:02 pmI think they’re putting us on. Right? Right?
October 15th, 2008 at 5:03 pmSo, it’s true. Romero was right; some zombie have human emotions, even love. Weird.
October 15th, 2008 at 5:04 pmI wasn’t gonna go, but then I saw that Ed Meese will be aboard. Ed Meese! Now THAT gets Cupid firing arrows like a zombie WWII soldier with a machine gun standing on a tank!
October 15th, 2008 at 5:10 pmNo! They can’t come to Key West! Noooooooooooooo!
October 15th, 2008 at 5:18 pmTancredo is going to Mexico?
Gee, I hope on the way back customs doesn’t hassle him at the border.
October 15th, 2008 at 5:33 pm5 old, white, male, republicans? I hope that any underage males on that boat are well supervised. Wouldn’ want there to be any ‘incidents’.
October 15th, 2008 at 5:46 pmWho wouldn’t get a little aroused by this bunch of old white guys? It’s power that’s the aphrodisiac ain’t it?
Of that group, the only guy worth spending any time with would be Sen. Alan Simpson, who was run out of the Senate by the “Contract on America” Republicans that commandeered congress in 1992 and purged themselves of any sane Republicans. Simpson is one of those (advocate for GLBT, pro-choice, and otherwise a civil libertarian) and I’m a little surprised to see him hanging out with this rogues gallery. He’s quite a funny guy too.
Now I wonder if Jason (I’m fighting the war of ideas here at home) Mattera, chickenhawk spokesmodel for YAF, will be on board to represent the younger wingnuts. It’s called the *Young* America’s Foundation” after all. Makes one wonder why the geezers are featured.

The timing is not strange, the timing is perfect. They plan to hit all the ports in the Caribbean that have no extradition with the US. February of 2009 is timed to give people the maximum time to extract their wealth from any US-bound assets, but still get out of the country before the Obama US Attorneys have time to get their act together and start issuing subpoenas and warrants.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:34 pmI would like to contribute to the fund to send Glenn Greenwald on this cruise.
Glennzilla v. Ashcroft, the Battle of the Century.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:43 pmThe first comment, by Bison, is impossible to top. It’s brilliant.
The angry progressives would probably get a cruise, then get their money back afterwards too.
I want to go.

October 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pmAll that premarital sex. How very Republican - better be careful they don’t fall into a rhythm or the boat will capsize. They’ll need someone shouting “stroke! stroke!” on different sides of the boat just in case.
Having said that, I can’t imagine anyone putting out for whatever jerk buys this for their dearly beloved. A ’stroke’ is the best they’ll be able to hope for.
October 16th, 2008 at 12:42 amSimpson can tell you all about how he trashed Anita Hill in order to ensure that a genuine sociopath became a member of the Supreme Court.
And how Joe Biden let him!
October 16th, 2008 at 1:25 am[...] while carrying Republicans far, far away from the world of the lower class people of ACORN – on a Valentine’s Day cruise! Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator. And Ed Meese will be there, so, yeah: BEST [...]
