Hatchet man Bob Dole on CNN rules out timetable or even an exit strategy!

[flpoljunkie]

What a total sellout he is--totally lacking integrity--even going so far as to trash Hagel as having presidential ambitions.

Go back to selling Viagra--there, you may have a bit more credibility.

Now he's on to prescription drugs--let me guess Dole's for we taxpayers paying top dollar for drugs to the pharmaceutical companies and no bulk buying--and oh, yes, against importation of those "poisonous" drugs from Canada.

1. Now he's shilling again for Judy Miller and a federal shield law to

protect people like her--saying Judy will never talk, and he has visited her in jail.

Why would Bob Dole be visiting Judy and advocating for the protection of journalist. Did not realize he was such a fan of print journalists?

[Drum]

2. This certainly points

toward an agenda at work in his NYT "free Judy Miller" letter doesn't it??

[babylonsister]

3. He's really worried about his dear friend

Judy Miller rotting in jail and recently wrote an editorial about how unfair the whole situation is. Maybe he needs more friends with some inkling of integrity...

4. Again, Mr. Limpdick whoring. nt

[CanonRay]

5. Maybe they'll call him up for Active Duty

After all, he's only 70 or so...

6. Worse than I thought. Dole being paid to tour country touting Dubya's plan

You know he is not doing it for free--we just don't know who is footing the bill--we, the taxpayers or the pharmaceutical companies. How low can you go, Bob Dole?

Dole: Seniors can save thousands on drugs with little effort

By TRAVIS REED
Associated Press Writer

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole urged senior citizens Tuesday to fill out a four-page Medicare application that could save them thousands of dollars a year in prescription drug costs.

Dole was making the third of a six-city tour to encourage seniors to participate in the new program. Enrollment starts Nov. 15 and the benefit begins Jan. 1. Dole urged seniors to start looking into it early, because those who don't sign up by May 15 could incur extra premiums.

"They're not going to have to make a choice between groceries and medicine. They're going to have their medicine," he said at a news conference coinciding with the Florida Conference on Aging.

"You're going to have to make choices, and they're going to start happening very quickly," he said. (Nothing like pressuring old folks, Bob)

The Kansas Republican also encouraged seniors' younger relatives to help their loved ones understand the drug benefit.

Dole stumps in Orlando for Medicare drug plan

Millions in Florida will weigh their options.

The flood is coming, and in Orlando, it began with a visit from Bob Dole.

The former U.S. senator spoke Tuesday at the Florida Conference on Aging to drum up enrollment for the new Medicare prescription-drug program that begins in the fall.

Drug companies such as Pfizer, which paid for Dole's visit, the federal government and nonprofits are gearing up to deluge seniors with information on how to navigate the program and enroll.

"It's time to start thinking, 'What am I going to do as a senior?'" said Dole, who did not disclose how much Pfizer is paying him to stump for the federal drug benefit. "You're going to have to make choices."

8. How is Bob? Long time no see!

Last I saw him, he was being spoofed on SNL, or shilling Viagra. Why'd they trundle out this old coot, again?

[flpoljunkie]

10. To sell this boondoggle of a Rx drug program to the "greatest generation."

At the taxpayer's expense--it is an unprecedented giveaway to the pharmaceutical companies.

9. you just hate him for his boner

11. Looks like they couldn't get McCain this time. NT

[Skidmore]

12. Doesn't he have some

boner pills to sell somewhere or need to be lavishing a leer on Britney Spears?
