His association with Ayers is from the age of 30 through the age of 47.  NOT 
a 'young man' as the same age bracket assigned to the comparatives.  They 
were the traditional ages for college.  McCain's idiocy was when he was 19, 
20 and 21 years old.  Clinton's was the same age era.  Well, forget Bush. 
He's an alcoholic and I wouldn't use him to compare or excuse anything.

So, compare apples to apples, oranges to oranges.  If you want to compare 
the "young people" mistakes, then compare Teflon's drug use and drug dealing 
with McNasty's hot dogging and Clinton's "not inhaling."
