H/t Melody N. An Obama spokesman adamantly asserts that in 1995 Barack Obama was the most clueless man in Chicago. AndreaMitchell thinks talk of Barack Obama's ties to an unrepentant terrorist is a "distraction." Rudy Giuliani doesn't. Mitchell is happy to take the NY Times's word for the fact that Obama and Ayers weren't close. Rudy, not so much. After the former NYC mayor made...

... career-long effort to combat the influence of special interests in the legislative process. Even AndreaMitchell was voicing skepticism this morning when interviewing an Obama campaign official about whether this pushback had any real substance behind it.
