With emphasis on the "sucker" part:
"The federal government spent $3.1 million on TV ads in which actor Andy Griffith touts the new health care law, but a non-partisan watchdog group says those ads are misleading."
Well, it's not just the "watchdog group" (FactCheck.org) who made that call; we "fisked" the former Mayberry star's infomercial in August, pointing out, for example that:
"as a senior citizen, he's about to see his own Medicare benefits - including choice of doctors - severely curtailed."
We were off the mark, though, in one aspect: we understood that the effort cost less than a million dollars. Turns out, it actually cost about 4 and a half times that.
That's more than Floyd charges for a perm!
