Holy moley. Obamarama must be rattled.
At the start of what should be a triumphal procession at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Obamarama okayed the release of a video about William Ayers, the unrepentant (“should have done more”) terrorist.
Ayers founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Its papers are now in the care of the University of Illinois at Chicago, which has stonewalled granting access.
Obamarama chaired the board of the Annenberg Challenge for Chicago.
What a mind-boggling stumble-footed pratfall.
And according to James Lileks, the security screeners are confiscating fruit:
”Got another Apple,” said the screener. I actually wondered if they were talking about the make of computer, and were all Mac fans themselves, but no. The secondary screener team plowed through my bags and came up with . . . an apple. ”Can’t bring these in,” said Officer Apple-taker. I asked why, instantly regretting it: Don’t cause a scene, idiot, just move along and accept the loss of an apple as one of those things that happens, unless you really want to wear the plastic bracelets and she said “it could be thrown.”Yes, it could be thrown; it could also be eaten. That was the plan, long ago.”I had to take a peach and a pear too,” she added. Somehow that made it better. A simple, soft, gentle peach was now considered a weapon?
They’re afraid that partisan conventioneers will react to convention speakers like a Catskills audience to a bad vaudeville comedy act…?
