FRIST AMONG EQUALS:

Free Trent Lott! (ANDREW COCKBURN, December 16, 2002, CounterPunch)

Across Washington, Democrats are trembling at the awful possibility that Chester Trent Lott may get so pissed off at the prevailing torrent of abuse that he will actually resign the majority leadership, thus fulfilling the dearest wish of White House supreme Karl Rove and opening the way for the ascent of Rove's chosen candidate for Senate Republican leadership: the odious Senator Sawbones from Tennessee, Dr Bill Frist. M.D.

The loathing of Andrew Cockburn is yet another reason to like Mr. Frist. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 17, 2002 8:18 AM
