CR - "The neo-confederates at FR and the gay lobby (who may, in part, be one in the same) once claimed and frequently posted that Joshua Speed's "secret diaries" were found under the floorboards at the location they lived. These supposed diaries told the lurid tale of Lincoln's relationship with Speed. And now the diaries are in a "private collection" and can not be published."

"Come to think of it, keep an eye out for Wlat's reaction to this book. I wonder if anybody's ever carved an equestrian statue of Lincoln..."

There won't be a book, because the whole story of the diaries was a fraud. But, like John Kerry's lies about munitions, there will always be an audience of the ignorant for things like this.

The purported diaries figure in an unwritten book by Larry Kramer, of ACT-UP fame.
