The covering lady liberty and that fucking "Eagles" song are certainly important elements to ASHCROFT! I Also love the idea of the Highest Court Chorus Line with sequins and garteres a la Dr, Everett von Scott in Rocky Horror. Here are some other details I'd like to include:
ASHCROFT!'s fear of cats as harbingers of Satan.
His defeat in the Missouri election to one dead Mel Carnahan (this could be a nice Don Giovanni theme.)
His constant promotion of his band (The Singing Senators) to DC Nightclub Promoters trying to land that one plum beltway gig.
Having an intimate steam with Trent Lott.
The confirmation hearings for AG, where the comittee erupts into a modern dance orgy.
Any other details--historical, fantastic whatever--are encouraged. Here's a link to his official bio:

Thu, September 4, 2003 - 4:37 PMI think it should end with him having his very own invade-your-privacy laws used on him to expose him smoking pot on the way to the gay leather bar The Eagle. With a disco version of the you-know-what song for a finale. -

Fri, September 5, 2003 - 1:18 AMGreat idea about The Eagle. I kind of think that the phrase "Let the Eagles Soar" could be played as a metaphor for masturbation. -

Fri, September 5, 2003 - 2:37 AMI like.
Early in the show, there needs to be a song to the effect of, "You say Missouree, I say Missourah", and the chorus chiming in with, "Republicans are just plain dumb." I swear it's true-- governors races in Missouri have been decided over the pronounciation of the name of the state.
You know what's scary? I can almost see this working as a musical! -

Mon, December 29, 2003 - 9:15 AMThis is a working musical. I have recently joined, but see that we need current postings. I know of a small theatre group in San Francisco that might put this show up...we need to write more if we want our, "vision thing" to be replicated in wooden actors. I like something happening with Trent Lott's hair piece in the steam room. It becomes natty and Clarence Thomas enters the room and prompty jokes that it is pubic hair,ect. -

Mon, December 29, 2003 - 10:29 AMI think there should be a scene with Ashcroft and the statue of Lady Liberty. The statue comes to life and they dance a dance of seduction ,ending with the consumation of their love. Afterward, as they smoke post-coital cigarettes,Ashcroft demands that she cover herself because now she is "his", and now woman of his will be displaying herself so wantonly. -

Re: ASHCROFT! Elements
Wed, December 31, 2003 - 10:40 PMA song performed by Ashcroft detailing his fear of calico cats (mentioned above) would be necessary, but it might be interesting to have a chorus of cats singing at the same time about how they feel about Ashcroft. If done as a duet (hell, make it a trio: add the snake handlers as suggested by Ramsey. And the _snakes_ too! Quartet!), 1t could end up being like "Tonight" from West Side Story.
And if Andrew Lloyd Webber has taught us nothing else, it's that singing cats= Broadway gold.

Re: ASHCROFT! Elements
Mon, January 5, 2004 - 12:19 PMif masturbation becomes a theme throughout, perhaps a song about the many uses of crisco (mama's apple pie crust, self-annointing, self-luv) would be useful.
anyone seen "urinetown"? i think we need greg kotis on board here.
