Acing Ron Paul

Leave it to Ace to have what should be the authoritative - and profanity laden appropriate response to Ron Paul lame attempt to claim that the newsletter published under his name for more than a decade was done by someone other than him and that he had no control over things.

Sure, Michael Totten, John Podhoretz, Ann Althouse, and Glenn Reynolds have all transited this road before, but Ace's method is unique.

And devastating (this part is just a teaser):
He never once read his own newsletter? Never asked Lew Rockwell, his conspiracy-addled, Jew-hating, black-savagery-noting partner in crime (and best bud) what this month's issue might be all about?

Tell me: Did Ron Paul ever issue a missive to his supposed ghostwriter to clean up his act? Can anyone at Reason point to newsletter apologizing for the inflammatory and hateful tone of a previous issue? Is there a date certain at which point this sort of hateful language stops entirely, thus lending at least thin credence to the notion that Ron Paul didn't approve of such sentiments and stopped them the moment he got wind of them?

As no one has yet noted any of the above, I take the answer to be "No."
