Today, Dr. Bill Frist took time to get in front of cameras and refer to the Democratic (and PS democratically elected representatives of United States Citizens) opposition as having "no conviction, no principles, and no ideas."
Pretty rough stuff from someone at that moment demonstrating his conviction by maligning his congressional colleagues, demonstrating his principles by playing loose with financial disclosure rules, and who's biggest idea in the public view to date was to diagnose a permanently, mentally crippled woman as healthy after seeing her on television.
Mr. Frist, Dr. Frist, Senator Frist, please, a little decorum.
You know damn well they have ideas. They are just not your ideas.
You know damn well they have principles. They are just not your principles.
You know damn well they have conviction. If I were you I would be more worried that I might be immanently facing a conviction.
The majority leader of the United States Senate ought not to be a mud slinger. Its undignified. You aren't writing a blog, you are representing each and every one of us. Shape up, or ship out and hit the "get your own blog" button.

He took some lessons from Dean, and learned them well.
Aloha,

Funny that for something so important we fall back on the lemming defense.
If Dean jumped of a cliff, would Frist? I might take that trade.
(Why the cheap shot at Howard Dean?)
Such posturing by Frist is really hysterical. Want to know why they were mad? 'Cause they weren't asked, politely, if the GOP would please be so kind as to allow the Dems to invoke Rule 21. Reid just did it and had it seconded before the GOP could say shut-up-and-siddown.
Rule 21 was invoked six times during the impeachment trial of President Clinton. I do not know who the instigators were. Just sayin' that The Rule has been invoked on numerous occasions in "recent" history. The GOP just wanted to be asked first.
Funny. The Dems have been asking, and asking, and asking them to do something about the investigation into the Iraq Occupation, which has gone completely nowhere. Now at least we see a faint glimmer of action. It shouldn't have to take all these theatrics.
You're right, David, we deserve better. It's not often discussed -- just because a Senator or Congressional Rep isn't from your home state, does not mean you shouldn't correspond with them or write them. I usually say "you're not from my state, but as a Senator you do represent me as a citizen" or something, usually more elegant than that.
