Soon-to-be-former Attorney General John Ashcroft heartily endorsed a lawsuit filed by a 19-year-old Kentucky woman after her school district refused to let her attend her senior prom while wearing a Confederate flag dress.
"This coming year marks the 140th anniversary of the end of the Civil War," Ashcroft said. "Some of us, er, some of the American people just haven't gotten over it yet - nor should they.
"What's the harm in honoring a big part of our country's heritage? It's not as though she wanted to wear a Ku Klux Klan sheet, or dress like some of those tramps on Desperate Housewives, or anything like that.
"It was a very tasteful rebel flag, just like the ones that used to be waved at Ole Miss and high school football games in Georgia and Alabama - until everybody got all politically correct," Ashcroft added.
