Poor Bill Ayers. It’s hard being the nation’s most misunderstood domestic terrorist. When he’s not busy blowing up buildings, plotting the death of 25 million Americans or spending some “personal time” with a well-worn picture of Che, he’s sticking it to the man by whining about the blogosphere.
Here is what the Chicago Sun-Times had to say.
William Ayers, 1960s radical and retired University of Illinois at Chicago professor, said Wednesday any suggestion he dedicated a book to the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy was fiction invented by right-wing bloggers.
“There’s not a shred of truth in it,” he said.
Wait, there is more:
He said his situation was like being “caught in a Kafkaesque nightmare of trying to explain something that is insane” and that a reporter asking questions about the dedication of a book she has not read was part of the “Alice in Wonderland world we all live in.”
To be fair it has been a while since we’ve read The Trail, but we’re not quite sure that Ayer’s comparison is entirely accurate. There’s nothing very nightmarish about a rich guy spending his sunset years in luxury when he should be spending them in jail. Just as it is not the world that is absurd in a situation in which an avowed extremist expects you to believe his words over ironclad documentation to the contrary.
As far as the reference to Alice in Wonderland, we can’t account for that either. We went to go see that movie starring Stallone and Jet Li instead.
