Lovely, just lovely.
We’re already hearing that Rove has tapped Bill Bennett to take up his anti-AARP slime crusade. And another TPM Reader, JW, has just drawn our attention to a USANext ad (second down on the right hand column) currently running on the American Spectator website.
(USANext, you’ll remember from this morning’s Times, is the GOP seniors astroturf group now tasked with roughing up AARP for opposing Social Security phase-out.)
Over the headline: “The REAL AARP Agenda”, the ad has, on the left, a picture of a soldier in desert fatigues with a big ‘X’ crossing him out and on the right a picture of two men (in tuxes and obviously just married) kissing each other. The gay newlyweds have a big green check mark over them.
The Rove slime, here it comes: AARP, the spit-on-the-troops/gay marriage lobby.
