[AlCzervik]

[cynatnite]

[Lenore]

2. Dang, sounds like he isn't resigning... n/t

[oldtime dfl_er]

3. can you see his forked tongue?

Please let those of us who can't watch know what lies he's spouting.

[AlCzervik]

4. "Questions have arisen, so let me tell you what i know and what i did"

owning stock complied with senate rules, in a blind trust now. no mea culpa yet----Complaints and questions have continued---

[karlrschneider]

5. Basically the standard GOP "I am not a crook" line.

:grr:

[AlCzervik]

6. He learned that the rules allowed him to sell HCA stock in his blind trust

[JuniperLea]

13. If it were a truly blind trust

He wouldn't know he had HCA stock in it!

[CabalPowered]

7. Come on Bill.. set yourself up for a perjury charge!! nt

[AlCzervik]

8. He claims of course he did nothing wrong.

[mod mom]

9. Frog walk that greedy bastard!

[BeyondGeography]

10. This was all part of a process

that was designed to make him "squeaky clean."

He directed his trustees to sell HCA as part of that process. He just happened to have his timing right relative to the value of the stock.

See?

11. Where is the "Blind" part of his trust?

It is being reported that Frist has dozens of contacts with his trust supervisors. I guess the "blind" part of the way his trust was structured referred to the "blind greed" by which he was going to make it grow.

[Benhurst]

14. "Blind" refers to the U.S. Department of Justice and the

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

As long as Ken "Kenny Boy" Lay walks the streets, can anyone believe there is justice in the United States?

[Walt Starr]

12. Isn't Frist like the richest person in the Senate? n/t
