Can Lincoln Save Alberto Gonzalez?

A friend from California tells me that one of the more dopey Claremontistas, the Lincoln-quoting GOP propagandist Ken Masugi, has left his position at Claremont to write speeches for Alberto “Constitution Schmonstitution” Gonzalez.

Masugi’s position at Claremont was to fool libertarian-minded Califonia donors into thinking the Claremontistas were actually supportive of constitutional liberty. He supervised their “local liberty project.”

It makes sense. Look for “I love torture” Gonzalez to start repeating the tired, old, GOP line that “Lincoln did it, therefore it must be OK for Dub-Yuh to do it.”
