    Frist is going down!

    The wheels turn so slow. Is this just a half-hearted efford to appease the many who want to see these cut throat politicians get there’s, or the real thing? I say…GET’EM ALL

    Woo Hoo!!! Hey Billy, don’t drop the soap!

    So I saw this on TV last night and therefore feel able to make a diagnosis on this due to my experience as a convicted felon in this area. I think that Senator Frist may indeed have been in a vegetative state when he committed this petty act of insider dealing…

    He is clearly responding to legal stimuli.

    Martha… what’s your take on Chimpy and Harken Energy in 1990?

    Remember the Right Wing outcry over Hillary Clinton’s options trading profits? Was that over a few thousand dollars? Looks like Frist’s take could be in the millions…has the Right Wing outcry started yet? I won’t hold my breath.



  9. Andrew says:

    There won’t be a rightwing outcry over this because the only outcry that surfaces from their camp is what’s driven by the RNC, Bill O’Slimey, Rush “Pill Me Up!” Limbaugh and the like. They won’t address this honestly and forthrightly so don’t expect any response from the herd.


  10. progressive and proud says:

    He is a greedy, pompous, cat killing, evil nondoctor whose profits come from others’ sickness and insurance companies. He is truly hideous, a real piece of work.

    I have commented several hundred times about Frist and his families HCA. It is the most crooked corporation in the country, well, at least one of the most crooked.

    Frist has been on the board of directors all along and has benefited financially for years from the illegal gains of HCA.

    I know this for a fact because I did a big investigation on the corporation in 1999. Frist was a crook then, and is a crook now.

    His family told him when to sell. This is insider trading because the corporation is the family. Period.


  12. good vibes says:

    Apparently his “blind trust” was not very blind.

    when did Frist kill a cat? What a Dick!

    I here they have a new fall line of ankle bracelets. Bill is in luck, they have all different colors and styles now.
