The whole thing of the blockbuster names, that turn out to be other people of the same name, smacks of a childish prank and arrogance.
Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers? Oh, two tourists that signed up for a white house tour or delivered fertilizer. That's so funny; especially since the pre-election right-wing notion that Obama likes to associate with and empower radical nut-cases has been proven to be just a paranoid fantasy.
Then who were the Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers look alikes?
Naaw they were there at the White House for ice cream and cookies with the Muppets.
And so was George Soros the DemRat finance minister for subversive organizations, and Angela Davis former Communist party Vice President candidate and radical black activist who was once on the FBI's most wanted list.

“The whole thing of the blockbuster names, that turn out to be other people of the same name, smacks of a childish prank and arrogance.”
I was thinking the exact same thing. If you are only releasing 110 names out of tens of thousands, why release these specific names? Seems like the WH is just playing game and probably is hoping Fox News sees it and causes a stir about it so then the WH can come back at them to make Fox looks foolish.
Yep. Too clever by half. Stick a thumb in America's eye, and at the same time, claim you're "transparent." But I really think there's serious purpose to this beyond prank. If you know you can't expunge the name William Ayers from the visitor logs, next best thing is to create a shell game with same-named others. Then, any time the WH is questioned, Robert Gibbs just wisecracks his way out of it with the cover they've laid, and the press gratefully accepts the escape hatch.
There's no reason in the world to include WH tour groups in this list except to mine it for like-names.
