        <title>Wonk'd, and Snap'd: John Ashcroft, Tommy Franks</title>
        <description><p>As you know, we love ourselves some Wonk&#8217;d sightings. There&#8217;s still time to submit sightings for this week&#8217;s round-up; so if you haven&#8217;t done so already, please <a href="mailto:tips@wonkette.com?subject=Wonk'd">email us</a> (subject line: &#8220;Wonk&#8217;d&#8221; or &#8220;Sighting&#8221;).</p>

<p>We also adore photographs and video footage, which we&#8217;ll be using even more liberally in the weeks ahead. When you submit Wonk&#8217;d sightings accompanied by photos &#8212; e.g., a picture of <span class="caps">E.J.</span> Dionne and William Galston <a href="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/wonkd/wonkd-paparazzette-174970.php">having lunch</a>, or one of the <a href="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/wonkd/wonkd-this-week-with-pretty-pictures-162499.php">tour bus</a> of Kimora Lee <strike>Simmons</strike> &#8212; you bring us special joy.</p>

<p>So we&#8217;d like to encourage you to take great photos and send them our way. To get the ball rolling, we offer you reader-taken photos of two former &#8220;generals&#8221; &#8212; ex-Attorney General John Ashcroft, and retired Army General Tommy Franks &#8212; at recent college graduations.</p>

<p>Check them out, along with commentary from our secret paparazzi, after the jump.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s John Ashcroft at the Georgetown Law graduation on 5/21. I saw him at the reception afterwards, glugging bottled sparkling water. Shockingly, the liberal student body let him alone and he seemed to be having a good conversation with a graduate and her family (a family friend maybe?). He was wearing a brown suit.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;Here is a picture of Tommy Franks in academic regalia defending the war in Iraq in his speech at the University of Texas at Arlington Graduation Celebration. It was May 12. I meant to send it a while back, but work has been crazy. I know many faculty were not happy he was speaking because of his politics.&#8221;</em></p>
