Bill Frist's Cayman Condo
Edited on Mon May-22-06 06:37 PM by jberryhill
Funny thing about Cayman, Bill. It's a really small place, and people talk.



How'd you pay for it, Bill? Hmmm?

(thanx to Island Air)

4. Bill and his family are loaded with money. That's why he's
under investigation w/the SEC.

6. And the Caymans ain't exactly cheap
I'm betting somebody bought it for a ton of money, then "lost" a ton when they sold it to Frist... and, the person that lost money on this condo deal to Frist is a campaign contributor and Republican power broker.

10. I'm sad about this...
I went to Grand Cayman when I was 11 years old, and the road across the island was only half paved...

The whole west end of the island was a dirt road. I guess we just have to find more avenues in which to escape.

16. Agreed. I went just after 9/11 and stayed at East End....
about as far away from Georgetown as one can get. It was great. Not very pretty land but great water for diving. I showed my 81 year old father-in-law, retired Air force guy, how to snorkel. He'd never done it in his life. Choked up 2 mouth fulls of water and within minutes he was trying to catch tarpon in his hands. Had never seen underwater in his life except for glass bottom boats in Florida.
