Bill Frist said he had a Blind Trust: HE'S A LIAR.

Am I just old fashioned about this 'truth' thingy???

All the while he voted for the Medicare Bill. Conflict of interest?


~snip~ CBS/AP) Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist received frequent updates about his stake in a family-owned hospital company, according to records that raise more questions about his knowledge of investments in supposedly blind trusts.

The Washington Post reports the documents show managers of the trusts regularly informed the Tennessee Republican when new shares of HCA Inc. were added to his portfolio.

Frist, who is facing a federal probe of his stock sales, has maintained that he was not aware of what was in the trusts which he once described as "totally blind."
