Drudge summarizes a New Republic report on the craziness of Ron Paul's opinions, expressed in his formerly unfindable newsletter, as follows:

"Ron Paul Shock Newsletters Unearthed: Claim MLK a Gay Pedophile, Praise David Duke, Speculate 1993 WTC Bombing Was Mossad Job..".

Back in the 1960s, George Wallace, segregationist Governor of Alabama, was term-limited, so he ran his wife Lurleen for Governor.  She campaigned on the basis of his experience, her experience as First Lady, and the fact that he would be telling her what to do as Governor.  People in Alabama liked George and Lurleen won the race for Governor.  In the 1990s, Bill Clinton was term-limited.  Although his First Lady, Hillary, is obviously more independent and assertive than Lurleen was, and she started her own political career as Senator, her campaign this year is oddly very close to Lurleen's -- Bill was a fine President, people were happy with the state of affairs in the country while Bill was President, Hillary was Bill's First Lady and observed him in action, she is very "experienced" in governance vicariously through Bill, and Bill will be there in the White House giving Hillary advice.  During this campaign, she seems to have completely forgotten her independent political career (wants to forget Iraq?) and she is running on Bill's experience.  Seeing Madelaine Albright on the stage with her in Iowa is a really bad example of this -- who cares about Albright now and does having her there make Hillary look like Lurleen or an "agent of change"?  I think she won't have a prayer (if she still does) unless she stops, now, running as the Lurleen Wallace-style candidate.
