informs us that disgraced former values-maven William Bennett has been tapped to lead the "anti-AARP Slime Crusade," in order to destroy Social Security.
I wonder if Bush really wants a
gambling addict making the case that secure, reliable social security should be converted into speculative private accounts?
We should recognize that this is a political gift. I'll get us started with an imagined script for pro-social security internet ad:
William Bennet threw away over a million dollars in several drunken late-night Video Poker marathons at the Bellagio. And now he's coming after
your social security!
Help keep social security safe. Tell your Senator that you oppose the Bush-Bennett Social Security Video Poker Bill.
