Perhaps Frist isn’t so bad, at all. Just think of it: Tom Delay as the “surprise candidate”.

I just found the Administration’s want ad for World Bank President.
Wanted: Corrupt arrogant prick with piss poor management skills. An amoral personality a must. Incompetence highly desired along with hypocracy.

If you liked Wolfowitz, you will love Dr. Frist the Cat.

A heart transplant, that’s what the World Bank needs.
Just do not sweat, or shed any tears.
And please do not ask about insider trading.

Frist as the nominee to head the World Bank? Yeah, I can see that… a mediocre physician and loyal right-wing soldier in a position that manages international banking and investment in underdeveloped nations…

Well, he IS from Tennessee.

You know, there’s something oddly comforting about the consistency of this administration. Just like you know Cathy is always going to suck in the Sunday funnies, you know that Bush is going to appoint an unqualified crony for any vital position that comes open. And you know that the unqualified crony will morph into an unqualified disaster.

The cat dissecting, insider trading, Terri Schiavo misdiagnosing Bill Frist?

Actually that would be great. Frist is an incompetent moron and would drag the place into the mud within six months. Which, in the end, would be a benefit to the world. I say, go for it.

I was disappointed that Scooter Libbyâ€™s name was not mentioned.

Comment by Scooter Libby

Good point. If Frist can diagnose patients from videotape then Scooter can head up the World Bank from prison. What’s the diff?

Bush needs someone to destroy the World Bank, so Frist the cat-killer makes sense to Dubya. He wants Frist to strangle the Bank just like he used to do to cats.

Seems it would make more sense to nominate a BANKER than a DOCTOR.

Sense? What is this thing you speak of — sense? Never heard of it.

“Frist would be a good choice. But they need an ass kicker like Bolton to clean out that snake pit of corruption and stupidity.”

But Patrick1, if we cleaned out all the corruption and stupidity, who would ever hire you?

Oh wait, were you talking about cleaning out the GOP and BuschCo? God, where would we ever get the prison capacity to hold all the newly convicted criminals?

Just 2 words:

Peeeee-yew…

I knew it… I knew it… I knew the blippin’ little monster would just choose another of his politically-connected, insdier, crony hacks.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss… and we won’t get fooled again.

Its amazing to me how a third-rate surgeon who makes false diagnoses by watching a video tape can be qualified to run a bank, when there are actual bankers and economists out there who aren’t being considered. Oh, thats right, Frist is an unelected loyal Bushie. Thats all that matters.

He needs to nominate a free market capitalist to undo all the socialist damage done by the World Bank over the past decades. For a result of WB economic philosophy, look at Africa.
