Trent can get to be a bit full of himself...still, the guy is a native conservative even though he has disappointed. Don't forget, his colleagues stabbed him in the back too. and while I like Frist as a doctor, as a Majority Leader, he makes a good doormat. I'd like to see Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader come the fall. (We had BETTER win!)
His colleagues stabbed him in the back because he was a whiney jerk about that whole incident. He should have stood up and just said "I have nothing to apologize for and I resent the implication of racism from a bunch of politicians who are always looking for a way to destroy their opponents. If anyone needs to apologize it the democrats for insulting my integrity." Ya think we'll ever hear a republican that has the stones to say something like that? Not very likely. I agree about McConnell. I want some "take no prisoners" leaders. Of course, based on past history with the republicans, he would disappoint too.
