Elizabeth Wurtzel has had a lot of problems in her life, as well as some kooky opinions, and has not been shy about sharing them in her books, including Prozac Nation. She said this about the WTC falling on 9/11 for example: “I had not the slightest emotional reaction. I thought: ‘This is a really strange art project.’ It was a most amazing sight in terms of sheer elegance…People were going on about it. That part really annoyed me.” For some reason, the WSJ decided to ask her opinion about Senator Obama and his friends:

As for Mr. Obama’s friends, the Weathercouple: By all accounts, Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers are unfathomably charming, brilliant and comely people, absolutely irresistible. Everybody who meets them is taken and forgets what they should know…the senator’s relationship with his radical Hyde Park neighbors is actually quite warm, even close.

Well, that’s one way to see things. Perhaps as a counterpoint to the attractive characterization of Mr. Ayers, Hillary Clinton supporter Larry Johnson (yes, that Larry Johnson) has posted a picture of the “unfathomably charming, brilliant and comely” Mr. Ayers trampling the American flag (similar photo here):

According to the caption, Mr. Ayers is said to be stomping on the American flag in 2001, some six years or more into his political relationship with Senator Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic primaries. (HTs: Larwyn, Jules Crittenden, and Tom Maguire)
