Elliott Abrams, who the hell else?
Neoconservatives deploy baseless accusations of anti-Semitism as frequently
as they indulge in nepotism, of course. But that Abrams has, once more, pushed
himself to the center of a foreign policy debate is remarkable: The man is,
after all, a convicted criminal. And yet, not only was Abrams exempt from
serving prison time for his misconduct -- he was later pardoned by President
George H.W. Bush, in the days after his loss to Bill Clinton -- but he has since
been fully accepted back into the highest echelons of the Republican
foreign-policy community. Abrams' bizarre reincarnation as a pseudo-statesman
shows that even committing crimes counts as insufficient to merit
excommunication from government service.
