Kenneth Starr: Still Sleazy After All These Years

Where's Ken Starr today? Why, he's the dean of the Pepperdine University Law School. I know. I know. A fascist fundie witch hunter now heading a fascist fundie law school isn't exactly earth-shattering news; however, I'm sure Ken's Starry-eyed minions law students are burning the midnight oil this weekend trying to figure out a way to blame this on Bill Clinton's penis:

Starr accused of sending fake clemency pleas
Prosecutors: Ex-independent counsel fabricated letters on inmate’s behalf

SAN FRANCISCO - Lawyers for a death row inmate, including former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr, sent fake letters from jurors asking California’s governor to spare the man’s life, prosecutors said Friday.

The jurors denied they thought Michael Morales deserved clemency because some of the testimony at his trial may have been fabricated, said Nathan Barankin, spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer.

“We showed each person the declaration on their behalf and they all said they didn’t say that,” Barankin said.

On Friday, the San Joaquin District Attorney’s office sent Schwarzenegger a new batch of sworn statements from five of those jurors saying they not only still supported capital punishment for Morales, but had never spoken with the defense investigator who claimed to have secured their signatures.

The mere thought of Ken Starr being prosecuted warms the, er, cockles, doesn't it?

Welcome to the US of Irony!
