Die, Grandma, die. The disgraceful behavior of the AARP's leaders acting against the interests of its own membership by endorsing the GOP-designed Medicare bill had such a political stink about it that Karl Rove had to be somewhere in the vicinity.

Sure enough, there he is in the final paragraph of the coverage in the Post:

Rep. Eric I. Cantor (Va.), a member of the House GOP leadership, said "we are in full gear on the inside" trying to lock down votes for the bill "and the groups on the outside are going full force." Last week, Cantor convened a meeting with Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, and lobbyists in a coalition of 400 insurance, health care, business and other groups that support the legislation.

If "400 insurance, health care, business and other groups" support the legislation behind Karl Rove's closed doors — how good can it be for America's seniors?

AARP members should demand new leadership immediately.
