washingtonpost.com — Ayers is considered so mainstream that Mayor Daley issued a statement praising him as a "distinguished professor of education" and a "valued member of the Chicago community." "I don't condone what he did 40 years ago, but I remember that period well," said Daley, whose father, Richard J. Daley, was a favorite target of the antiwar movement.

  • thepoliticalcat, on 10/11/2008, -0/+5Hey, 40 years is OVER a lifetime ago for most of today's voters. Not everybody is a senile crankypants like John McWHO? I mean, I'm definitely close to McCrankypants' age but hell, I ain't senile, and he is! Shoot, my mother was sharper at 84 than McCain is at 72 (anybody check to see if his birth certificate has been doctored?).
