Senate leader Bill Frist’s AIDS charity
“paid nearly a half-million dollars in consulting fees to members of his political inner circle, according to tax returns providing the first financial accounting of the presidential hopeful’s nonprofit,” the AP reports. Maybe his inner circle was doing research on AIDS transmission via teardrops?

Let the money laundering continue! I can only wonder when this case of washing questionable funds wll be investigated. Hopefully before the 2006 elections.
December 17th, 2005 at 3:37 pmWhy would Frist care about aids victims anyway?
Only gays get aids.
December 17th, 2005 at 3:55 pmI’ll only drive 5 miles an hour. I won’t attract attention that way
-Cruisin’ with Pedro Frist

“Why would Frist care about aids victims anyway?
Only gays get aids.”

Susan if you knew or cared about AIDS you would wake up and relize it’s not only gays who get it. You are still thinking about the western world. BUT GUESS WHAT! For once your precious america isn’t the focus. Ok. It’s africa and the MILLIONS of people there dying from AIDS. Now i don’t think First is spending his money right… I mean why not give it straight to the grass roots of Africa. But at least he gives a damn. I am sick of poeple like you who won’t wake up and relized what a great threat to the world AIDS is. YOu make me sick. But I’m sure you wouldn’t care about my opion because I’m a kid, frm africa living in Canada, with AIDS.

Sick-
Susan was only saying it in jest. She’s on your side.
She’s only questioning how a so-called doctor, who cares less about his profession for anything, except the financial benefits, can hold a benefit when he’s already
in danger for criminal acts involving money. Frist is only using the charity as a PR stunt.
I’m sorry that you are suffering from the disease and I hope that someday there will be a cure, but I think you have to understand (since you’re new) that each regular
has their own style of humor and we have a tendency to look below the news gloss to find what really is the dark truth.
Please check out our site before you say something worse.
Once again, I’m sorry that you’re sick, but please learn a little more about Bill Frist before you post again. OK?
December 17th, 2005 at 6:51 pm#6 Sick, JIMBO is correct. I was being sarcastic.
It does surprise me though that Frist would care about aids victims as most republicans believe only gays get aids.
In America, republicans and the christian right hate gays and hate anyone who doesn’t have a lot of money.
December 18th, 2005 at 12:11 amFrist’s Consultants Paid With His AIDS Charity Funds
Yet ANOTHER new question is being raised about Senate Majority Bill Frist: were consultants paid out of funds from his AIDS charity? According to the AP,…
December 18th, 2005 at 4:16 amThat would bring Frist DOWN, I hope. I dont trust frist.
December 18th, 2005 at 11:07 amYou know, Bill Gates donated to Aids research too. somewhere in india or china.
But, I think, that if you take care of the poor. aids would decline.
