Head Of AARP Wrote Preface To Gingrich Book On Healthcare
Seniors and Democrats were stunned when the AARP announced its support of the Trojan Horse Republican Medicare bill.
The AARP message board is burning up with rage against the AARP and its CEO, William D. Novelli, the former public relations whiz kid. Seniors appear to be canceling their memberships and calling for heads to roll at AARP headquarters.
But Novelli defiantly dismissed membership outrage at his alliance with the Republicans, who see the proposed Medicare bill as the first step in the privatization and dismantling of the senior health insurance program.
In response to Senator Tom Daschle's tart prediction that he would face a revolt within his organization over this bill, Novelli said, "There's not going to be a revolt within AARP. There's going to be a problem if Congress fails to pass this legislation."
Mr. Novelli claims he has his AARP seniors in the bag for the GOP. But is being an enthusiastic supporter of Newt Gingrich's wing nut healthcare plan for America doing the best for seniors?
Novelli is such a fan of Gingrich that he wrote a preface to Newt's babbling right wing treatise on how to destroy the healthcare safety net for seniors and other Americans: "Saving Lives & Saving Money." This is what Novelli said in praise of Gingrich's book:
goes out of business. That SOB. How could he do this to our seniors. He does NOT have them in the "bag" for Bush! They are not stupid people. My parents detest the shrub. THIS is NOT going to give votes to Bush and Novelli's ass should be fired for this. Fucking bastard.
