What the...?!?!?

At Senator Kennedy's website, I notice the following....

Over 1100 Discounted Magazine Subscriptions...

Is the Senator reduced to selling magazing subsciptions now? Is it legal to use the Senate website to advertise commercial ventures?

UPDATE: Odd. His high-speed page has a magazine-subscription ad, too....but a different one.

Magazine Subscriptions at Great Prices...

From the code, I'd say the site is using a news service of some sort that has the ad links embedded. The ads aren't directly on his site.

Kennedy selling magazines?

Reminds me of a recent Budweiser commercial where a "baseball player" is being interviewed by a "journalist" and the player at one point says, "Twenty million just doesn't go as far as it used to!"
