| | The GULLY | U.S. | Ashcroft Sticks It To Luxembourg |
 | | Slippery Johnny Ashcroft's latest, and lamest, excuse for blocking James C. Hormel's ambassadorship to Luxembourg in 1998 is that the dignified, gentlemanly philantropist and diplomat, who is gay, would have been "likely to be offensive" to the Luxembourgers. |
 | | As eely Johnny told inquiring Senators last week, Luxembourg's "the most Roman Catholic country in all of Europe." That's why, while it was OK for Hormel to be Alternate Delegate to the U.N. General Assembly, that well-known den of debauchery, it was not OK to inflict him on them benighted, retardatary Luxies. |
 | | That Johnny be confirmed Secretary of State on the strength of his superb command of obscure, albeit mendacious, geoanthropological trivia. |
