Frist lies and LIES AND LIES on Faux Snooze Sunday

[zulchzulu]

Awaiting the transcript...but it's obvious that Frist gets the easy road and continues to spread lies about what Dean said, accused Kerry that he supports the terrorists and tells all of us that the Avian flu is about to strike.

Could be tomorrow...hey, and since the doctor (under investigation for insider trading) can make medical assessments from 5-year old videotapes like he did with Terry Schiavo, the flu about to hit America must be true.

Of course, Frist wants to cut off the filibuster as well.

Asked about his insider trading scandal and the investigation about it, he dodged and wormed and we now have it on tape that he lied about the investigation. It was actually good seeing Frist sweat through the questions about his scandal.

What is good about the interview is that all the Democrat bashing he did in the first part of the segment now is lost and he's squealing lik a little baby.

Please come back, Dr. Frist.

1. Did I hear Frist correctly on Avian Flu deaths?

I think I just heard Bill Frist say that Avian Flu deaths would leave 100's of thousands of job openings and actually HELP our economy? Was imagining that or was that what I hear?

2. Hmmm...

He may have...I missed that part...but it would not surprise me at all.

Seeing a pandemic as a money maker would not be out of question with people like Frist, Bennett and even Hume. Making money of disasters is something these guys pad their wallets with.

9. Frist & his family fortune would only benefit from a pandemic.

They are in the business of cashing in on the weak & sick And defrauding our government of Medicare monies. HCA, Frists' family fortune, paid the highest fine for Medicare fraud....1.7 B I L L I O N.

3. They see it has a great way

to get rid of more useless eaters. Just like Katrina.

BTW: Welcome to DU :hi:

6. I didn't hear it right, but its still a sick way of looking at flu deaths

From the Transcript:

FRIST: Well, we know that we are going to have a pandemic in the future, and the near future, if we look at the last 2,000 years of history. We don't know how bad that pandemic will be.

The report that I released last week by the Congressional Budget Office confirms what our scientists and our public health officials have been saying. It's exactly as you said. Two million people could die. Uniquely, one million people out of the productive workforce. That would cost $675 billion to our economy. Huge. That's more than the typical average recession since World War II.

It's still disturbing that his biggest worry is how a Pandemic might sour his stock portfolio.

7. That's how you can tell the difference

between the Repugs and the Dems. The Repugs always talk about property. The Dems talks about people.

5. Yeah, the funeral industry will bust wide open with demand!!! I bet

that ages ago he bought into the funeral industry to hedge his medical practice. :evilgrin:

4. I am surprised people DU doesn't talk about his insider trading more

What it the latest on that?

8. Corruption.....

Frist is the typical republican. Greedy, corrupt hatchet-man with an acid tounge. If he was on Faux "news", he found the perfect place for his agenda. Faux includes the fluttering American Flag in the upper left as a free extra with all of their propaganda.
