Yep. There's a sucker born every minute, all right.

The Rightards in this country are so desperate for something, anything, to discredit Barack Obama with that they'll grasp at any straw - no matter how thin.

Take the remarks of 'unrepentant terrorist' Bill Ayers, when someone asked him if he was the ghost writer for Obama's Dreams Of My Father.

When he finished speaking, we put the authorship question right to him. For a split second, Ayers was nonplussed. Then an Abbie Hoffmanish, steal-this-book-sort-of-smile lit up his face. He gently took National Journal by the arm. "Here's what I'm going to say. This is my quote. Be sure to write it down: 'Yes, I wrote Dreams From My Father. I ghostwrote the whole thing. I met with the president three or four times, and then I wrote the entire book.'" He released National Journal's arm, and beamed in Marxist triumph. "And now I would like the royalties."

Anyone with half a brain - even Jonah Goldberg, for cryin' out loud - could read that quote and realize that Ayers is having a bit of fun. But alas - some people are just too fucking dumb to get it.
