And I think killing the President is more reputable and honorable than ANYTHING Simpson might do.

4. I wanna be Ashlee, baby. |
|
I really don't want to get infamous and then have to die, like JWB. I prefer insipid anonymity, where Ashlee will soon be. It suits me better!

5. As Booth, do I have free will? |
|
I can choose not to shoot Lincoln, continue my career as a noted actor and be forgotten a century later. Better than being Ashlee and forgotten in fifteen minutes.

6. No. You have to live the life they live/d. |
|
I'd rather have the trigger pulled, I think.

8. Diabolical assassin or Ashlee Simpson |
|
Tough call. Of course, we don't know if Ashlee will end up assassinating anyone, do we?

Booth has been dead for over 100 years. It was a tough choice, but between a moldering century old corpse and Ashlee, Ashlee has a narrow edge.

9. Booth was a Shakespearean actor. . .from a family of them. |

13. Well, at least Booth was successful at his job. |
|
Not saying you should neccessarily be proud of being a presidential assassin, but at least he didn't have to do some half-assed hoedown in the middle of Ford's Theater because the gun misfired, or whatever.
