Chris Matthews and Charlie <$NoAd$> Jarvis last night on Hardball …
MATTHEWS: Who is OâNeill Marketing?
JARVIS: OâNeill Marketing is a list company, a list rental company.
MATTHEWS: And where are they located?
JARVIS: Theyâre located in Fairfax.
MATTHEWS: Where are you located?
JARVIS: In the building where we are, yes.
MATTHEWS: How close is their office to your office?
JARVIS: Three floors.
MATTHEWS: Three floors?
JARVIS: Yes.
MATTHEWS: And what is your connection?
JARVIS: No connection at all now. When I first came in, 2001, USA, then known as United Seniors Association, did own…
MATTHEWS: And what is OâNeill known for, advertising firm?
JARVIS: Basically just direct mail list rentals. Thatâs it. Theyâre not an advertising firm.
And as long as we’re on the subject of USANext, apparently a couple years ago the Social Security Administration had to get a judge to issue a cease and desist order to stop Jarvis’s outfit from sending out direct mail intended to “mislead the public into believing the mail is officially sent or approved by the Social Security Administration.” That’s quite a badge of honor. Are they still under that court order?
