Ayers wants the GOP to forget about him

William Ayers, 60s radical and all around scumbag, stepped out of his cave long enough to tell a panel discussion that he didn't want to be the center of attention anymore:

"[Fox host] Bill O'Reilly comes on his show and first thing he says is, 'Why won't this Ayers story die?'" Ayers told well-wishers. "And then he spends 10 minutes talking about it."

Mr. Ayers: you've been an attention whore all of your life. Why are you shunning the attention now?

Michael Reagan explains why Ayers is still important:

If the truth becomes better known -- and it will if the Ayers issue is doggedly pursued -- it will be clear that Obama was not only deeply immersed the fetid swamp of Chicago’s far-left political scene, but was from the very beginning of his career carefully groomed by the city’s socialist left to follow the path he’s on now in his quest for the presidency of the United States.
