So Pat Boone is hawking those GOVERNMENT INSURED reverse mortgages.

at the same time we have to listen to his ilk telling us that government is too big, big government is incompetent, big government is the paper version of the Anti-Christ...

Seriously.

I guess this is just another example of, to borrow the DU phrase of the day, white privilege.

Boone hates government that extends a hand to poor minorities but wants to make it easier for the overwhelmingly number of Golden Age white people who can take advantage of the Reverse Mortgage.

I know it's a stretch, but it's not any more of a stretch than what the Right Wing trots out each and every day,.

His name escapes me but he was the republicans great white hope in 2008 until he opened his mouth and revealed that he was a dolt.

Blows my mind when he stresses the "government insured" part of those mortgages.

Back in the 50's, when black singers weren't even allowed on many radio stations, Boone "whiteyed up" their music for those stations and record stores.

Nowadays besides that stupid ad, Boone is a wingnut "columnist" at WND.

He wanted to "fumigate" (his word) the White House to get rid of Obama.
