Here's the outrageous Karl Rove attack ad on AARP, I'm very pleased with it. As the Bush junta begins its second term the mis-steps pile up & the payback is on the way. This ad manages to be homophobic AND insult patriotic seniors, & no doubt scares the bejezuz out of dozens of Republican congressmen from "graying" districts who solicit the AARP vote every two years. Certainly, one can find fault with AARP positions on a number of issues, but committing treason & supporting gay marriage are not part of its agenda. The ad has been withdrawn but the damage, like they say, is done. The sponsors of the ad said they were only trying to "provoke liberal bloggers," & that they did. What's pathetic is that so few conservatives are also provoked. It's the rare conservative writer, like Paul Mulshine of Jersey's Star-Ledger, who concludes that Bush & the neocoms make no more sense than the liberals.
