YESTERDAY, I linked to a Media Matters claim that FDR was being quoted out of context on social security. But Megan McArdle observes:

I see that I am supposed to be outraged by Brit Hume’s allegedly egregious misquotation of FDR, to claim FDR’s mantle for George Bush’s privatisation plan.

But then I actually, y’know, click the link, and find out that FDR’s plan looks a lot like Bush’s, except that it wasn’t nearly so generous.

The Bush Administration: More generous than FDR! Related post here.
