Oh, the "big bad liberal media" excuse gets trotted out instead of
any real factual information. Par for the (mini-golf) course.

Cites? None. For example, Morrissey provides no cites but writes:
"Their paths didn’t cross “sporadically”. They worked on two
projects together, political projects, for almost a decade in
Chicago. That’s hardly “sporadic”; that’s a well-established working
relationship, and certainly much more substantial than Obama’s
description of Ayers as just another familiar face in the neighborhood."
Using Morrissey's "logic" I guess I'm a Republican since I served on
boards of directors with the Rev. Phil Hansen (ran for the US Senate
as a Republican against Mondale in 1972), Wheelock Whitney (ran for
Governor with the Republican endorsement), Barbara Carlson (a
Republican council member feminist that I'm sure Mitch will disavow),
and Peter Bell (now Gov. Pawlenty's Met Council Director). Oh, and
Phil Krinkie lived down the street before he carpet-bagged to Lino
Lakes so he could run in the 6th Congressional District.
I'll give Morrissey credit, though, for an aptly named blog: Hot Air.

Apparently more of a "Republican" than thou, I guess.
Darned Boards come back to haunt you every time!
