I am not sure what to make of the story that Ayers has now admitted to writing Obama's autobiography. If it pans out, that is to my mind a very big story. Stay tuned. But I do think I should revise my earlier poo-pooing of Jack Cashill's effort to prove the Ayers-Obama connection. A while back, a close friend of mine (and a pretty famous person in NR land) harrangued me about how I didn't give Cashill's argument enough attention or consideration and that it makes a pretty persuasive case. This friend then walked me through it for a while and I was impressed. I'm still sure what the truth is but whether this latest story pans out or not, I figured I should at least withdraw some of my, uh, poo-poo.
Go LES!
“Ayers? Oh, he’s just a terrorist ghost-writer who lives in my neighborhood.”
Oh the Ghostwriter’s a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
And the Communist’s a person in your neighborhood
They’re the people that you meet
When you’re walking down the street
They’re the people that you meet
Each Day
“Ayers? Oh, he’s just a terrorist ghost-writer who lives in my neighborhood.”
. . . who also baby sits the babies we were punished with.
That “Dreams” was written by a black man—a work of genius!
Written by Ayers—flowery prose.
Affirmative action in literary criticism?
And to think that the young Mr Buckley voted for O because of “his” book.
Even if Ayers didn’t write the book himself, he almost certainly had some hand in its writing. This reveals yet another Obama lie ...that he barely knew Ayers and only from sitting with him on some organization board.
*******
I can see signs like the following hounding Obama during the 2012 presidential campaign:
"That just a guy in the neighborhood wrote my book."
Any idea how many millions our alleged POTUS is banking as multiple copies of this foolish soon-to-be-a-feature-film-like-"Roots"-book pour in a never-ending stream into every school library, public library, college library, VA Hospital library, USAID foreign libraries around the globe, Armed Forces Base Libraries, + substantial book store sales, not to mention special editions to grace the bookshelves of the faithful?
We are talking serious, Oprah-type moolah here. The Bomber Ayers, millionaire though he may be, is probably kicking his own gluteal regions over the missed opportunity to share in the swag, which when the movie hits, will be astronomical, even dwarfing his huge trust fund from dear old dad. Poor Bomber Bill! He probably doesn't see a nickle from Tee Shirt Sales, either.
OBTW, when are the San Francisco prosecutors going to indict The Bomber Ayers for murder? No Statute of Limitations there.
He had no answer to that. Just looked at me. Then he turned and walked off, and said again his bit about my proving it and splitting the proceeds ...
Now why would Anne Leary jump in immediately and say “why would I believe you, you’re a liar?” I don’t know if this story is true, but she did a really poor job regardless. If you’re trying to get information from someone, you don’t shut them down like that ... you keep asking answerable questions.
That was my thought too.
What kind of dumb thing is that? Getting great information and suddenly saying You’re a liar and making the guy walk off ... this part makes little sense - but the rest sounds very believable ...
Maybe she should send him the proof and then ask where’s my share ???
Let’s say, as the liberal blogs are saying, that he played with a young journalist who didn’t have a notebook or tape recorder.
But, then I ask myself why? why would joke about that? why open the can up...unless you mean’t too?
I agree with the other FRs here. This guy’s ego is so huge that he’s upset that he got next to nothing for the work he did.
That's something I hadn't thought of.
He wouldn't be the only literatus who was wooed by the words of The One.
The correct spelling of this is "pooh-poohing". It has nothing to do with poo.
Perhaps . . . then again, it may be diminished by the guy's ongoing screw-ups. I was in a $5 and Below store today shopping for some small toys. I was surprised to find that they were already selling coffee table books about the anointed one for a couple of bucks each. I also found a huge oversupply of Beanie Baby stuffed animals - Bo, the White House pooch. Even Bo isn't selling and is ending up at the discount stores. Too bad, so sad . . .
