What I'd write about Tookie, if I could

Jeff Jacoby, in the first of a two-part series of articles, takes on the Left's peculiar love affair with Tookie. I can't add to what he says, so I just suggest you take a minute to read it. UPDATE: In a comment, Patrick mentioned that Tookie's lawyers may have written the books on which his supposed redemption hinges. Here's the link to the Debbie Schlussel post giving that information (although she doesn't give details for the suggested conclusion).
