Late yesterday afternoon, long after he'd have had time to make a change if he really wanted to do so, Sen. John McCain was still running his TV ad suggesting that Barack Obama consorts with terrorists because of his connection to former Weather Underground member William Ayers.
Oh, puh-lease! The "connection" was really a one-time interaction. They were both members on a community advisory board founded and funded by William Annenberg, former ambassador and friend of Ronald Reagan--more than 30 years AFTER Ayers had been involved with the Weather Underground. Obama knew Ayers as an educator; Obama was only 8 years old at the time Ayers was involved with the Weather Underground; Obama inferred, once he learned of Ayers' history--AFTER having served with Ayers on the advisory board--that Ayers had been rehabilitated, or else none of the Republicans connected to the board would have had anything to do with Ayers.
So McCain is still talking out of both sides of his mouth, and I hereby take back every nice thing I said about his finally standing up on Friday to the more extreme fanatics attending his campaign events. McCain is so desperate to attain the presidency that he will say or do anything that he thinks will help him reach his goals. The man has squandered his integrity for the sake of his ambition. That kind of "leadership" America doesn't need!
