What’s more amusing? The fact that he’d tease a conservative by baiting her about the right’s Cashill/Andersen-fueled authorship suspicions, or the fact that the Examiner seems to think he was making an earnest, honest-to-goodness confession?
Note that this wasn’t even in response to a question. He simply blurted it out as soon as the interviewer identified herself as conservative.

Anne Leary of Back Yard Conservative was passing through Washington, DC’s Reagan National Airport yesterday, and was surprised to come across Bill Ayers at Starbucks: “scruffy, thinning beard, dippy earring, and the wire rims, heading to order.” She struck up a conversation with him and snapped the accompanying photo…
Ayers was in Washington, he told her, for a conference on education.
“That’s what I do, education,” he said. “You shouldn’t believe everything you hear about me… You know nothing about me.”
To which she responded, “I said, I know plenty–I’m from Chicago, a conservative blogger, and I’ll post this.”…
But he didn’t scowl, and didn’t run off as he has been known to do. Instead, unprompted, he blurted out: “I wrote ‘Dreams From My Father… Michelle asked me to.” Then he added “And if you can prove it we can split the royalties.”
Anne responded, “Stop pulling my leg!”
But he repeated insistently, “I wrote it, the wording was similar [to Ayers’ other writing.]”
Anne responded, “I believe you probably heavily edited it.”
Ayers stated firmly, “I wrote it.”
Anne ended the conversation by saying “why would I believe you? You’re a liar.”

Follow the link for the Examiner’s theory that being denied proper credit for the president’s book — which was published almost 15 years ago — may have finally triggered Ayers’s megalomania such that he could no longer suppress the truth during … a chance encounter with a blogger in an airport. Dude?
Bill Ayers admits writing ‘Dreams’ to conservative blogger
I thought the original story was from the Chicago Daily Observer?
Ping
Perhaps one of the dullest books ever written:

I did notice that the second book didn’t resemble the first in style. No doubt it was written by another author.
Pray for America and Our Troops
Tell the truth so that they won’t believe you.
Which begs the question, if you bought the book thinking it was written by Obama, since that’s what he claimed and didn’t give credit to ANYone else.....
can we bring a lawsuit demanding reparations (ie I want my money back) for fraud and misrepresentation?
Class action suit, anyone?
This was the first post here at FR about it.
Leary had it on her blog, and published it at the Chicago Daily Observer with a linkback.Bill Ayers: “I wrote Dreams From My Father”
Since then I think this is the seventh or so repeat of it.
The man is a sociopathic lier. He may have, but don’t trust him. He’s committed terrorism to accomplish his “dream” of destroying the capitalistic system.
Oddly enough, I hear Mr. Ayres actually saying that he did not get properly compensated for his work on the book. Sounds like he’s hoping to get paid. If he’d help just a little with the truth, then maybe proving who wrote the book would be simplified.
Possible Clintonian move on 0’s part. Bill was used as a rung on the ole ladder. Stepped on, and he’s trapped by the truth and pissed off he cannot get bona fide credit as he would then have to go.
I’d take him up directly on his offer... Stat...
“Dreams From My Father” is the “Mein Kampf” of this generation’s narcissistic lunatic. It doesn’t matter much who actually wrote it. What is troubling is that so many of our political hacks and enlightened academics have read it and declared Yobama their god.
He's do thickheaded to write anything.
Jeez Louise.
LOLOLOL! "Me and my wife gonna pick a bale of cotton, / Me and my wife gonna pick a bale of hay! Ohhh, Lordy, pick a bale of cotton! / Ohhhh, Lordy, pick a bale o' hay!"
