Folks, as you all know, it was WDH who called our beloved MT the "Lincoln of
our literature."

What I am wondering is the extent to which it may be plausible to turn that
around, and talk about Lincoln as the "Mark Twain of our politics."

First, does anyone know of any writing or criticism that makes that
connection?

Second, does anyone have any response or corroboration for such a concept?

happy waning summer days...
