The Frist Shall Be Lsat
So I'm sitting in my breakfast nook this morning doing my normal routine: sipping latte from a china cup, making fun of religion, and listening to NPR. (Oftentimes during breakfast I like to think of Sacki drinking his plain old regular coffee from a chipped mug that says "Born Loser," but that's another story.) During a boring item on NPR (imagine that!), I decided to see what else was on the dial. I turned over to some local-area wingnutjob cock-jock named Mancow to see what the "other side" was yapping about. This Mancow fellow was in the middle of a diatribe complaining about -- of all things -- President Bush! He was calling him "worse than Clinton" in terms of spending and increasing the size of the government. (The last time I flipped over to Mancow was circa 1998 when he was talking about black helicopters and Clinton and rape and how he [Mancow] was sick on a daily basis because "people loved him [Clinton]!")
So Criticism From Within seems to be hot these days. Lookout, GOP. When Mancow AND Scott Stantis are coming for you, there's some -- how shall we say -- discontent in the air.
Stantis even goes so far as to name names today. But it's only Bill Frist. From his fake scientific take on AIDS transmitted through tears and sweat to his recent FLIP-FLOP on stem cell research, he's an easy target, not only for the left but also for the right.
I'm just not all that impressed with Stantis' much-hyped August Surprise so far. But the week is only at its hump. And what follows the hump? Climax. So tune in tomorrow when Sacki cleans up.
Comments
It's hip to rip on Frist. That should be on a t-shirt.

Despite the fractured state of the Republican party (which will only increase heading into the 06 elections as congressmen try to distance themselves from Bush), idiot neocons still laugh and say the Democrats can't figure out what their core values are.

One shouldn't forget the amazing powers of medical examination and/or forensics Frist showed by watching select portions of Terri Schiavo (maybe 30 seconds?) and deciding she was *not* in a persistent vegetative state.
Oh, wait, he was wrong about that, too.

Don't forget that she was watching those lights - despite being blind.

And she definitely said "I want to live," despite having a brain with a liquified cortex...
