welcome to the profession

A. J. Wolf, the "84-year-old emeritus rabbi of KAM Isaiah Israel Synagogue" who, according to the New York Times, lives across the street from Barak Obama, said the following about Bill Ayers (co-founder of the Weathermen, now professor of education at University of Illinois at Chicago):

He [Wolf] said he had known Mr. Ayers for decades but added, “Bill’s mad at me because I told a reporter he’s a toothless ex-radical.”

“It was kind of a nasty shot,” Mr. Wolf said. “But it’s true. For God’s sake, he’s a professor.”

Ouch.

But has he indeed lost his teeth? This, courtesy of Mr. Ayers, is one of the funnier comments on the bail-out I've seen.
