Well, he won't be the majority leader come the new year...he is not running for re-election.

Wanted the "legislation" junkies to see this, but feel free to move to "politics" if need be.

LOL! Save this for the presidential election!

Why not? The Taliban has taken over our government.

Frist said that he has studied the Taliban platform and admired many of their positions. He liked the Burka requirement for women in public, the mandatory religious training, the prohibitions on drinking and gambling, and the death penalty for adulterous women. He was however extremely troubled with the Taliban marginal tax rates. If they were a few points lower he would consider making a political donation from his substantial personal inherited wealth.

Numbnut - of course, anyone who knows anything about the gambling ban already knew that.

Frist is being a pragmatist in this. You folks are upset (and possibly feeling betrayed by your Grand Old Party) for attacking online gambling, but not everything Frist says or does is nonsense.

Calm down.
