John Ashcroft's name has become synomous with the "A-word," in the minds of some Hollywood artists.

The Washington Post reports the former attorney general's surname was dubbed over the seven-letter obscenity that begins with the same first two letters in a version of the Oscar-nominated movie "Sideways."

Correspondent Monte Reel told colleagues he heard the substitution twice during an in-flight showing of the hit comedy aboard an Aerolineas Argentinas flight to Lima, Peru.

Appropiate, I'd say.

Hollywood is a bunch of cheap whores peddling their cheapeness to those that expect nothing more than that. To hell with them, expect more and get more.

I'm opting for landing somewhere in the middle. I propose Asscroft.

As in, "Don't be such an Ashcroft!" Hmmm.....I don't see any loss of meaning. Think I'll use it as well.

Is that like "Belgium" the Hitchhiker trilogy books?

I think Ashcroft is dirtier, though...
