Did just I hear what I think I heard?

[corky44]

Rep. Slaughter on Maj Report said Frist has day traders stationed in his
office to take advantage of stock shifts when bills get passed!!!

I heard Hartmann mention this a while back but thought it was a myth or a joke.

BLOW THIS ONE UP!!!

1. Did I hear a couple of days ago that Frist is not running for

the Senate again or was it that he isn't "running" for the leadership position? I was only half listening and missed just what was said. Did anyone else hear this? It was on CNN or MSNBC.

2. You heard right.

I have been googling for details, with no results. If true, this is a biggy, don't you think?

[yellowdogmi]

9. A biggy because he has been planning to

run for the RNC nomination for president. Hence his stance on stemcells. Hopefully the taint from his sec investigation goes somewhere.

3. simply outrageous

4. I would guess a DUPE! Meant to mess up our great democratic message

of late.

[Brundle_Fly]

5. applegrove.

you mess up our great democratic message

[applegrove]

6. Don't we have to be discerning? I mean why blow something up

if it is not true? Isn't there enough out there to talk about that is known to be true?

I don't think the Admin likes rumours.

7. A D.C. insider told me that Defense Appropriations members

in Congress regularly called their brokers to buy stocks in companies landing contracts that they voted on. Apparently it's not considered insider trading, since Congress exempted itself from rules that apply to everyone else.

If anyone can confirm that this is still going on, please pm me. I'm a journo.

8. Frist pissed off BushCo...

...this is retaliation.

They're all crooks and third-class criminals. The majority of them would think nothing of this behavior.

They've all got loads of dirt on each other.

The "Frist" file was opened after he ticked off BushCo several months ago, and this is a result of that.

Except for a handful of good apples, they're all being blackmailed with stuff like this.

12. Frist

Nothing is too low for the Republicans to do. They are without morals and ethics. It seems that every word out of their mouths, from their shit-headed leader on down, is a lie.

16. Frist sucks. n/t

[snowbear]

17. Unbelievable...

What a friggin dirtball he is..

[Lone_Wolf]

18. It never ceases to amaze me how corrupt those bastards are...

Un-friggin-believable. Those bastards should all be arrested and thrown away for life doing hard time. Their personal assets should be given away to charity.

19. Frist has a history of trading on inside info.

His family are the biggest bunch of bandits in the entire hospital ownership community. They're the Walton family of hospitals.

20. As far as news though...

There's only one mention of this on Google if you do a search under "news".. Yahoo News has a tiny blip from the Majority Report. It didn't make it to the Associated Press.

There's all kinds of other news hits with Frist in it.. but absolutely zero, zilch, nada, nothing but the one little Majority Report blip..
