Bill Ayers talks back

Sarah Palin called him a terrorist, Barack Obama called him an acquaintance. A Salon editor who knew Ayers back when talks to the ex-Weather Underground member turned Republican talking point.

    Pete Kent Rocks!

    Ayers is being rewarded by a big bounce in his book sales. Salon will make him rich. He can move to Venezuela with his lovely, virginal Bernadine, and expropriate a big hacienda there, and be granted the Coca Cola bottling franchise. Maybe Raul Castro will grant him The Isle of Pines. A little face lift might help too. He's getting pretty wrinkeley, don't you think? Maybe Nancy Pelosi's plastic surgeon could give him a discount face lift.
