Frist and HCA...this is an outrage!

[nonews]

CNBC just ran the story on Frist selling his HCA stock from a "blind trust" 2 weeks before it tanked. They had a tape of Frist from Jan 2003 that he said he did not have any HCA stock!!! This is disgusting! He's toast for any presidential run.

1. He should be impeached for this!

This is an abuse of power beyond the pale!

[acmavm]

2. I thought lying and criminal tendencies were two of the biggest plusses

for a republican candidate.

[nonews]

3. Frist is a Pompous Ass--EOM

[MissMarple]

9. He never does anything wrong.

:rofl:

4. True, that. Maybe FEMA has an opening in their legal department. n/t

[nonews]

5. typical MD...

Frist is one of those typical "know-it-all" doctors who thinks he can get away with anything.

[holboz]

6. A whole new meaning for "Justice Sunday", eh?

Maybe we're seeing the REAL motive for Frist's plea for a more like-minded Republican judiciary. Perhaps one that will turn a blind eye to public corruption yet clamp down the rights of everyday citizens.

This won't stop Frist from trying a Presidential run. He'll work day and night to spin this thing. Failing that, by the time the race really starts to heat up this will be so far in the past that he'll confidentally deny any of it ever happened. (The repub version of a Jedi mind trick)

7. The comparison between Frist and Martha Steward has...

got to be made and repeated endlessly so the whole world can see what a sham this administration is.

8. He must have reviewed a videotape of his blind trust . . .

:evilgrin:
