Dick Morris' claim that Ayers "hired" Obama "to distribute the $50 million that Ayers raised" contradicted by NY Times report

SUMMARY: On Hannity & Colmes, Dick Morris baselessly claimed that William Ayers "hired" Sen. Barack Obama as chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge "to distribute the $50 million that Ayers raised" for the educational organization. However, The New York Times reported that "according to several people involved, Mr. Ayers played no role in Mr. Obama's appointment," while the Obama campaign also has said that Ayers did not "arrange[]" Obama's CAC chairmanship.
