Bill Frist is shocked.. I tell you shocked...that Clarke

[Skidmore]

would seek to capiltalize on his public service by selling a book!!! Said so right now in front of the Senate. I wonder if Mr. Frist is equally shocked by Tauzin going on to work for pharmaceutical companies.

I'm so sick of this bunch of amoral money-grubbing, soulless creeps.

[swag]

1. Oh, that Bill Frist

He has such delicate sensibilities.

He is too fine and pure for this world.

Such a delicate flower.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. I understand Bill Frist's pain.

Clarke could set a terrible precedent if the hired help suddenly began talking. Clarke should have done what any business-minded Republican in public service would have done. Make one last deregulatory decision before retiring from public service, then hop skip it to the nearest board of director's meeting in the private sector.

[Stephanie]

2. I doubt Clarke ever expected to make much money from it

But my local bookstore was sold out of it yesterday. I asked about sales on Tuesday when I bought mine and they had already sold a hundred copies.

[9215]

10. There was a topic here about

the book being sold out in alot of places and they are going to print more.

It still amazes me how these Repugs avoid substantitive criticism of Clarke. I'm reading his book and can imagine the WHouse was freaked when they read it.

:hi:

[LittleApple81]

3. I just turned him off. He talks like a preacher. Holier than thou...

Clarke covered that issue in his testimony already. He is a sicko, undead looking, sanctimonious Bush mouthpiece.

[BurtWorm]

4. Have they, at last, no sense of decency?

Shameless mofos! All of 'em! :nuke:

[PA Democrat]

5. And ** I ** am shocked.. I tell you shocked.. that

Bill Frist continuously pushes for legislation that enriches himself and his family.

[flakey_foont]

6. Was Frist 'shocked'

by Gary Aldrich?

[lazarus]

7. My dad said the same thing

My response, which worked:

Would Clarke's words have gotten any play at all, on 60 minutes, the morning shows, Larry King, anywhere, if he hadn't written a book?

The media doesn't work that way.

[priller]

8. Frist, of course, came out with his own book

When Every Moment Counts: What You Need to Know About Bioterrorism from the Senate's Only Doctor


No no, we wouldn't ever want to capitalize on our public service, now would we?

[jean]

11. He also authored "Good People Beget Good People" - - -

15. Ha ha, love some of the comments

"God has truly shined on the good people represented by Bill Frist and his brood pups. God gives them riches, contentment and power. They deserve all the accouterments of America's largesse, because in their ovaries and scrotums they carry the divine seed of God's blessing. Of course, they were also raised in good homes, went to good schools, and associated with the right people along the way. This is what good breeding does for you. Gives you good begetting. Good Christian rutting and siring..."

[jean]

18. ahahaha! I better be getting over there and read some of those - thanks!

what the heck is that medal on the cover if his Begetting book?

Oh oh - upon reading some of the reviews, it appears Amazon culled 80 or so unfavorable reviews from the list!

[Stephanie]

16. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Someone needs to get a copy of that to a Dem on the Senate floor so they can wave it around!

[priller]

9. And then there's this weird little number:

Good People Beget Good People: A Genealogy of the Frist Family

Is that something like Blood Will Tell? Some paean to eugenics? What the hell?

[PA Democrat]

12. How about Crooks Beget Crooks

What was the total fine that Frist's family's HCA had to pay out for Medicare fraud? I recall that it was something like $1.6 BILLION.

[Mandate My Ass]

14. ROFL! Which DUers have been reviewing this POS book?

Reviewer: A reader from Eugene, OR United States
... I want to thank Dr. Frist for taking time out of his important duties as the nation's preeminent vivisectionist to provide us with this wonderfully complete answer to the question "how did Dr. Bill Frist become the very unique individual he is today". One more thing - if you're bona fide "good people" you shouldn't have to be subjected to bad reviews. It's in the PATRIOT Act - look it up.

OMG, this one is a hoot!!

Reviewer: A reader from Salt Lake City

God has truly shined on the good people represented by Bill Frist and his brood pups. God gives them riches, contentment and power. They deserve all the accouterments of America's largesse, because in their ovaries and scrotums they carry the divine seed of God's blessing. Of course, they were also raised in good homes, went to good schools, and associated with the right people along the way. This is what good breeding does for you. Gives you good begetting. Good Christian rutting and siring. We should all feel blessed as well, that such products of divine stud service have been chosen by our nation, led by an equally well-bred Skull and Bones member of a parallel dynasty, to run the Senate. Truly, this is a golden moment in our nation's history, that we should have the products of such Christian eugenics inhabiting our most hallowed offices.

[Stephanie]

20. "... good begetting. Good Christian rutting and siring. "

OMG that is so funny!!!

Author, author!

[Mandate My Ass]

21. In their ovaries and scrotums

they carry the divine seed of God's blessing.
Somebody buy this reviewer a beer. Never mind, I will. :toast:

[RamboLiberal]

13. Anyone know what the hell John Fund was spouting last night

I believe it was on Paula Zahn's show about some congressional leader (believe it was House Intelligence - name I believe began with "P") was going to charge Clarke with perjury?

I've failed to find a reference today.

[salinen]

19. Brought to by

the party that kneels at the alter of gold.

[DenverDem]

22. Frist is a cat murdering sociopath.

This sick fuck has no moral ground to stand on. Cultural demonization of the ethically bankrupt wrong wing must be Job One.

[yellowcanine]

23. Can Fristy refute any of Clarke's testimony?

It's a rhetorical question - i know the answer.

[zbdent]

24. Why? Novak capitalized on national security to sell his column . . .

and now he won't own up to who told him . . .
