William Ayers', Barry's BFF, resume

This is the work of Mark Levin, former attorney who worked in the Reagan Justice Department as chief of staff. If you aren't familiar with him or his radio show, give him a listen. www.marklevin.com or listen on any number of stations like www.abc.com or www.wntp. Over the past few months I've come to respect him enormously and he's funny. And he loves dogs.

Remember that Barry's political career was launched at Ayers' house. William Ayers' wife, Bernadette Dohrn



worked with Michelle in the same law firm for a period of time. But Barry lies and says Ayers is just a guy from the neighborhood, someone he hardly knew. That lie will be put to rest when Stanley Kurtz finishes with the Annenberg papers just released this week.
