A comment by privatei2 on Mister Moral Authority

Why am I so naive? DF warned us it was a puff piece and yet I still clicked on the link to the NYT article and was rewarded with such gems as the following:

''Is this, then, the truth?,'' he writes. ''Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.''
But why would someone want to read a memoir parts of which are admittedly not true? Mr. Ayers was asked.
''Obviously, the point is it's a reflection on memory,'' he answered. ''It's true as I remember it.''

Revisionist memory. That's priceless. I should have just stuck to reading DF's stuff.
