1. Probably not

But I think it's going to be hard for him to run in 2008 - but he'll probably do it anyway.

11. Sure he'll do it anyway...

and his base will blindly vote for him. They'll just say the liberals were trying to frame him for something he didn't do. After all, the man IS an ethical, conservative Christian, right?

:sarcasm:

[bryant69]

23. That's a little simplistic

There will be other people trying to run - who will tar him over his change of mind on the stem cell debate and on this ethics issue. So I don't think he will easily sail into the hearts and minds of his party.

28. Perhaps....

I guess I've gotten jaded after seeing Tom Delay and other "christian conservatives" get away with their unethical, illegal behaviors.

Plus, folks have forgotten that Bush himself did a little insider trading too. Sold some $800,000 worth of Harken stock before it tanked. Guess his daddy's friends covered for him.

2. Being an MD, you'd think Frist would know the meaning of "blind"..... nt

[MrBenchley]

5. Did you see what Rahm Emanuel said??

"Bill Frist has this all upside down," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., chairman of the House Democrats' campaign committee. "He thought Terri Schiavo could see and his trust was blind."

9. Woo hoooooo!!!! nt

[KittyWampus]

34. Emanuel Is Sharp As A Tack! Comes Across Well On TV.

[brainshrub]

3. No. Conservatives are permitted to engage in fraud.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

[BlueJac]

4. Probably not

[KansDem]

6. Bush did the same thing with his Harken stock...

Although I believe he was on the Harken board of directors at the time. But he still sold all his stock just before Harken stock crashed. He then "reported" this transaction to the SEC months after he was suppose to. The corporate lawyer indicated that such a move could be viewed as insider trading, but nothing came of it and he's now POTUS.

Remember what Leona Helmsley said...

[Democrat 4 Ever]

17. Just remember Bushy 41 was prez at the time of Chimpy's

"indiscretions" with Harken. SEC refused to investigate the president's son. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Same thing now. Frist, DeLay, and all other crooked repugs are safe and sound in DC until 2006.

The repugs are experts at breaking the law and covering it up for their own. It is mother's milk to these guys.

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Was it the end of Tom DeLay?

Or any other federal politician in the majority party? Nope.

I wonder how soon the Ethics Committee will be looking at this. <crickets chirping>

[Dinger]

15. Well, That Chapter Isn't Done Yet, . . . Not By A Longshot (nt)

[pnorman]

18. Don't despair.

This steady drip, drip, drip on the body politic, will eventually take it's toll. Pretty soon, those scum-suckers will start responding in panic. They're still coked to the gills on arrogance, and bound to screw up ... BAD.

21. I Bet That Pic Isn't Doctored Either

It looks so authentic!

[pnorman]

24. Sometimes, it takes a little "wishful thinking"

to get through the night. But it beats the hell out of the Black Hole of Despondency!

And I LOVE that photo, "doctored" or not, and I try to use it at least once each day.

On edit: Here it comes again!

29. I LOVE THAT PIC!

Rove pissing himself :rofl:

[0007]

33. I wish I wish this image would come true.

Great job!

[calico1]

8. Silly. Don't you know that we forgive

Conservatives? They are allowed mistakes. After all they are human! Its Democrats who we can demand no less that 100% perfection from 100% of the time! :sarcasm:

[Dinger]

31. To Err Is Human . . . . To Forgive is . . .

for suckers!

[Nye Bevan]

10. My guess...

... in order to avoid jail he will cut a deal where he pays a huge fine and resigns his senate seat in disgrace.

[Dinger]

19. Works For Me!

:)

[kentuck]

12. For the first time in history....

a former Majority Leader will take the position back from his successor. Welcome back, Trent Lott! :)

[asjr]

13. Frist complied with the law and ethics committee??? What

ethics committee? I thought they stopped having a ethics committee. He will go Scot Free! I hope he abandons his move to be President. The uninformed here in TN will vote for him because he is a "doctor." Doctor equals "good" you know, just like Bush equals a "good Christian man."

[mntleo2]

26. Uhhh, Isn't the "Ethics Committee" Run By Delay?

...in the light of No Child Left Behind, Clean Air Act, and Healthy Forests...

See, they always do opposites in a Dr Seuss sort of way. What they really mean is that you can have BAD ethics, as long as you are a Republican...

Cat In Seattle <---who hates Republican hypocrisy

[Dees]

14. Fork him..........n/t

[MidnightWind]

16. Here's what I want to know--

Why is the media not screaming about this? Why are they NOT harping away on the fact that the GOP is as corrupt as the day is long? "The Hammer" is under investigation, now Frist, and of course, the whole Rove business. There is not a single facet of the GOP "leadership" that isn't under some kind of criminal investigation. If this was happening to Dems, the media would be screaming at decibel shattering levels about this. But of course, when it's their good buddies at the GOP, they remain silent. :banghead:

[liberalpress]

20. Frist was already done...

... he came out in favor of stem cell research, so the modern-day GOP will never let him on the ticket

[peekaloo]

22. Nah. He'll just cite a temporary vegetative state and slide on it.

:mad:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. It's almost poetic. Karmic? He said blind Terry Schiavo could see,

and it turns out that he could see his "blind" trusts. Both are getting him into trouble.

[yellowcanine]

27. Fristy is fricasseed? I hope not. I would rather he get the pubbie

nomination in 2008 before going down in flames.

[SaveAmerica]

30. no, only islamic evil doers deserve punishment...

[RepublicanElephant]

32. so is frist being roved so he won't get the way of jebby or condi's run?

?

[JCMach1]

35. No, it means JEBtm will be the nominee

:(
