Blogging Corzine’s AARP call

AARP is hosting what it calls a tele-town hall with Gov. Jon Corzine — an opportunity for seniors to talk with the governor via telephone.

The governor, speaking via phone, has been pushing senior programs, touting an expansion of funding for those programs as something the “reflects our values.”

There has been nothing new, so far. The tele-town hall has been, like most of his appearances lately, an aggressive sales job — only in this case Doug Johnson from AARP has played the role of Corzine's sychophantic pitchman.
