Bwahahahahaha! *breathe* bwahahahahahaha!

Conservative bloggers are so silly. They got punked by Bill Ayers (as proved by our very own troll, RICO, in yesterday’s Open Thread).

Here’s what happened: A conservative blogger by the name of Anne Leary ran into Ayers buying coffee in an airport. Recognizing him, she started talking to him in what seems to have been a rather unfriendly manner. Leary identified herself as a conservative blogger and took Ayers’ photo, presumably to prove the encounter happened, and shortly after, he dropped this bombshell:

Then, unprompted he said–I wrote Dreams From My Father. I said, oh, so you admit it. He said–Michelle asked me to. I looked at him. He seemed eager. He’s about my height, short. He went on to say–and if you can prove it, we can split the royalties. So I said, stop pulling my leg. Horrible thought. But he came again–I really wrote it, the wording was similar. I said I believe you probably heavily edited it. He said–I wrote it. I said–why would I believe you, you’re a liar.

He had no answer to that. Just looked at me. Then he turned and walked off, and said again his bit about my proving it and splitting the proceeds.

Apparently a whole bunch of conservative bloggers breathlessly linked to this the most prominent being affirmative action wingnut welfare baby Jonah Goldberg (author of Liberal Fascism). Hint, hint conservatives – it’s called sarcasm.

  1. RICO says:

    Thanks for the shout out.

    I like scottp’s reaction best: it never happened but it was a joke.

    Looks like Ayers liked the joke so much he told it twice, once to Anne and once to National Journal (my weds post)
