Pat Boone attacking Sherrod Brown? Really?

Mr. "April Love" doing his Christian duty railing against Social Security.



"The 60+ Association -- a group whose spokesperson is Pat Boone, and whose main goal is to privatize Social Security -- has run another $932,000 ad buy attacking Sherrod.

That brings total spending against Sherrod in Ohio to more than $9 MILLION, and we still have 5 months to go.

We need to hit $500,000 before this FEC quarter ends on June 30th to fight back. Click here to support Sherrod today.

Most of these ads - including Pat Boone’s latest gem -- are chock full of lies about Sherrod’s record. But once again, I’m not surprised: Sherrod doesn’t work for corporate special interests, he works for the middle class. Of course they’re spending millions to defeat him.

This is why our Truth Fund is so important, so we can respond to ridiculous smears with the truth. Ohioans deserve to know where Sherrod actually stands."

but I do think he lacks 2 brain cells to rub together. He is a truly stupid man.

Pat made the tinfoil claim that this was why the husband wanted to pull the feeding tube, so that she would remain silent forever about his supervillianous ways.

I don't think it's his fault though - it's genetics. I always kind of liked his singing though. Proof that talent in one area does not mean you are talented in every area.

...following the orders of a director and reading scripts. Even his hit songs were written by others.

That means the Republican Party sees old Pat Boone fans a strong part of their voting base. The ones who see Baby Boomers as young punks and whippersnappers. Their kids can't take the keys away fast enough to suit me.

But the ad firm suggested Pat, so that the message would sell better to white audiences.
Aint that a shame?
