In a political season in which Barack Obama has delighted in playing the age card—see "lost his bearings," "wander around," and multiple mentions of McCain's "half-century of service," Democrats are now demonstrating that they're even willing to use an opponent's superannuation on each other.
There I was in my upstate NY home this evening, innocently watching the Yankee game, when this ad by Dem Rob Andrews, targeting primary opponent Dem Frank Lautenberg, the–very–senior senator from New Jersey, appeared . . .

Good tough ad - and so far Lautenberg is ducking all debates and public comments - probably afraid anything spontaneous will betray his fragile grasp on mental competence......

Frank Lautenbergs ideas are stuck in the 60’s...
The 1860’s.

The NJ democrats illegally dug up the mouldy corpse of Frank Lautencadaver to replace the terminally corrupt "Torch," US Senator Robert Toricelli, at the last minute, when it appeared they would lose the seat to the Republicans.

Quite right, Former, and the Courts (always the Courts) allowed him to be illegally placed on the ballot. Yet another example of how we are living in a judicial oligarchy.

He’s a case of affirmative action for seniors. Only Dem seniors need apply.
