Mel's letter for McClintock *

It's not as surprising as, say, usually reliable Hollywood Democrats Spielberg, Katzenberg and Saban endorsing Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, as they did last week. Mel Gibson has well-known religio-conservative leanings. Still, given Gibson's new unwanted notoriety and seeming veer away from usual Christian values, this fundraising letter on behalf of Lieutenant Governor candidate Tom McClintock that talks about "God-given rights" has at least some eavesdropping value.

* Late Tuesday update: McClintock withdraws the letter.
