50. His family owns the largest group of hospitals in the country. They were
under inditement for defrauding Medicare and several other organizations. I don't know the details but they were pardoned or allowed to pay off officials to shut down the investigation, something like a 6 million dollar fine which was not publicized of course. Randi Rhodes had a whole hour devoted to information about Bill Frist and his family. I also wrote extensively in the Pfizer thread in latest breaking news (part 1) about Bill Frist's addendum to the Homeland Security Bill that indemnified Eli Lilly from paying any damages to families whose children were injured from vaccines. He is a crook of the highest order, his conflicts of interest are glaring.

Cat killing aside, and I am an animal lover, this guy should not be anywhere near our government making policy, let alone the Majority party leader. He is a criminal period.


Fortunately if his speech at the Republican convention is any indication he badly needs a charisma transplant as well, so his run for office will have to overcome that hurdle. I think he is not well liked even in his own home state of Tennessee. I have Republican relatives there (believe me I've tried to convert them already to no avail). They are animal lovers though, so if I tell them about Frist's little animal experiments these particular people will spread the word. I think I need to tell them right away and get a jump on the anti-Frist publicity for 2008.
