I took more heat on this forum from people who thought I was being unreasonably tough on Frist. I was told that I "wasnt paying attention" and that "Frist is a doctor, he is methodical and is counting the votes before forcing a showdown." I was flamed by the elites who kept saying, "next week". Of all the times I have wanted to be right about something, this time was NOT it..
I don't think you're right---at least not yet. So far, he is methodical. So far, we've got our one judge (batting 1000) and the Dems still have no leg to stand on. I'd check this out in a few weeks. If we get all 10 judges, I don't care about "face."
Limp-wrist Frist rides again. While it's true that he is an MD, it's less well-known that his family owns a vast HMO/Medical Insurance empire in TN. It's not as if the guy is some country doctor or mere family practicioner trying to make ends meet between the lawyers, the government, and the insurance companies (one of the only groups of people on earth who occaisionally make lawyers look honest.)
