"A fully rehabilitated Ayers" writes Bongo Brazil. Well, gosh, what could that possibly mean? It can't mean what the traditional, most commonly understood definition of the word "rehabilitate" means, that he has been rehabilitated as a prisoner of a crime he was convicted of. Why? Because as we all know, Ayers was never convicted of his terrorist acts. So, Bongo must mean that Ayers has been rehabiliated of this terrorist thinking. But that's not the case because Ayers has already clearly stated that he is unrepentant and that he feels he didn't do enough with the bombing. What Bongo may mean (and who the hell knows what that could be) is that Ayers is now a beacon of respectibility in Chicago and that this somehow means he is rehabilitated. But according to the article by Kurtz, Ayers is as radical as ever and still holds fast to his radical views...and that, indeed, Obama supports and funds those views. So any of these interpretations, Bongo, of your "rehabilitated" sentence does NOT bode well for the community organiser. > > > > > Yes, genius, keep this sort of thing up.
