Did anyone else get the "Pimmel über Berlin" (Penis over Berlin) pun? It riffs on "Der Himmel über Berlin" (The Heaven over Berlin) title of that famous Wim Wenders film aka Wings of Desire.
Now why doesn't the NYT do a Murdoch mural like that on the side of their building? These German are taking us to school on how a real editorial feud is handled.
By email: I was on the set of GMA with a client of mine today and the Chaz Bono interview was pretty intense. According to staff on set, it was an amazing exclusive for them but when the subject of George Stephanopoulos vs. Chris Cuomo came up, they were wondering if George could or would even want to pull that interview off. "It’s great morning TV to have that exclusive and Cuomo pulled it off without making it feel awkward. I don’t know if George can do those types of interviews and This Week?", is what one staffer said and the other concern was that those interviews wouldn’t even happen with George there. "The interviews that Cuomo is good at, George couldn’t and probably wouldn’t want to do. You need those for ratings and if George doesn’t want to do them or can’t pull them off with some sensitivity, we lose ratings".
Well he was part of the group, he didn't do the bombings. Is he still responsible, to some degree yes.. Has he paid his dues, yes.
I understand what he is saying. First off the late 60's and 70's were a different time. 1000 Americans were being slaughtered in NAM by insurgents who were rightfully protectuing themselves from the imperialists. I am sure if N. Korea or Japan invaded us, we would do the same.. empathy helps in understanding these complex issues.
To use him to dirty Obama is ridiculous and simply stupid. Now if Obama was part of the Weathermen, I am sure the FBI & CIA would have known about it..

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
He's still a Senator.. At least Ayers put his money where his mouth is..
There's really no difference right now between him, Sarah Palin, and Joe the Plumber, all doing post-election damage control. May God show them all the door.
With age we are supposed to gain wisdom. I'm glad he gave something back to a struggling community as an organizer later in life, but until he admits that the violence he advocated and participated in in his youth was terror pure and simple, he's just another yammering leftover.
If it weren't for prosecutorial misconduct, that shitbag would be rotting in prison to this ... Oh, wait, no he wouldn't. His old man was a filthy pig super rich capitalist.
But good to see that a guy who tried to blow up fellow Americans and advocated for some good old-fashioned re-education camps that would make Pol Pot and Che green with Marxist envy.
This guy is no fucking better than the folks who blow up abortion clinics. But laugh away. Cuz he's funny!
@SpecialK: Well, when you're talking about someone like Ayers, who takes himself so incredibly seriously, yes, I think laughing at him is one of the best responses you can make.
The SDS and Student-Worker Alliance never recovered from their stunts. NEVER. Bernadine Dohrn's RYM1 split Students for a Democratic Society pretty much instantly and irrevocably. The Weathermen sealed that fate, and upped the ante, permitting the ruling class to persuasively conflate legitimate anti-war organization with the Weathercrap.
That's one of the ugliest, saddest chapters in all this.
Let the record show that these people got pretty much the same reaction in the late 60s/early 70s. No one rallied to their call for violent revolution. That's why they copped that name from "Subterranean Homesick Blues." You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Even afterwards no one paid attention. And in 2008 nobody knows who the fuck the Weathermen were, which is why McCain's banging that drum fell flat.
