McCain has a link to William Ayers also:

"This morning John McCain put out a list of 100 former ambassadors who are supporting his campaign. Number two is Leonore Annenberg, the wife of Ambassador William Annenberg, the founder of the Annenberg Institute of Reform, which funded the Annenberg Challenge, which once had two famous board members: former "domestic terrorist" William Ayers and Sen. Barack Obama.

So either we should all be outraged that John McCain is supported by a family who funded a foundation that hired a domestic terrorist, or this whole William Ayers thing is just plain silly. I choose the latter.

The Annenbergs, if you don't know, are a famous American publishing family, very Republican going back generations. They got their start in newspapers in the days when big cities had a dozen or 15 competing dailies and papers literally hired thugs to rough up and occasionally kill corner newsboys so as to claim space on more profitable street corners."
