What’s so funny about it is how Ayers and Dorn had to sit there and be civilized and choke down a dinner with Breitbart as their guest. Safe bet we’ll read a play by play on one of the Bigs sites.
Oh, and Bernadine Dorn can “really relate” to Ron Paul. Quelle surprise, given that Nor Luap’s foreign policy is somewhat to the left of Noam Chomsky’s.
It sounds like they (Tucker and guests) were the flies going into the spider’s den. Andrew kept saying how surreal it was. He was definitely mesmerized by the Chicago power couple and believes without a doubt that Obama was launched but these sophisticated, erudite and well-connected people.

I’m sure Andrew watched carefully to ensure that his hosts ate everything that he ate.
Okay I listened to most of it, and it is a waste of time. There really needs to be a brief summary.
SUMMARY:
Tucker Carlson and Brietbart, plus some others, went to a super fancy place for a dinner put on by the Ayres people. They were wined and dined and treated like kings, then shooed away at half time. Carlson called it a “Potemkin” dinner.
the majority of folks on Breitbart’s forums are saying he sold out…

Breitbart did not go into the dinner to wage war, and that was smart on his part. The REASON Ayres et al were being so gracious, was to paint Breitbart as an uncivilized ogre if he got combative.
The dinner should not have been publicized. Ayres did what he did in order to give Breitbart nothing to report on, and damn if he wasn’t successful. Breitbart should have just written the dinner off as a non-event and not tried to hype it up with his radio call.
Blowback

Comedy GOLD.

You want to know what Andrew is saying or the guys talking behind him. I had to turn it off.

It was a Potemkin dinner – well staged, and they hustled them out of there as quickly as possible.
Laura Curtis on February 6, 2012 at 7:20 PM
I really have no idea what this is and fear a seizure if I kept listening past the 4:30 mark.
Garbled audio – and the majority of folks on Breitbart’s forums are saying he sold out…

That’s it, REALLY, that’s it.
Boring.
Lame.
Unworthy of linking.

Unlistenable. I’ll wait for a transcript or commentary on it.
