2. I'm sure
But this will be interesting. Let's see how fast there is an investigation.

Anthrax gets sent to Tom Daschle and a number of prominet liberals, and there are several deaths around the country due to the "anthrax killer". No arrests, no investigation.

But lets see where this one goes...

Gee, ricin... Didn't Iraq have some... Gee, looks like we found justification for the war! Good thing, too. We were really starting to look like lying douchebags.

41. But not the guy who had been fired from the base the anthrax was taken
from. He was videotaped inside the building after his firing for anti Muslim issues and before the anthrax went out. Your version is the corporate media version and the man they harrassed was a patsy.

7. Frist is ghoulish
He was born with a gold spoon in his mouth. Groomed to keep the family business (Hospital Corporation of America) going. And brags he didn't even vote til he was in his thiries.

9. perhaps it was ...
sheesh ... talk about distractions ...

perhaps it was just some poor, misguided democratic judiciary committee staffer trying to get back at Frist for stealing democratic computer files ... they did find confidential data taken from the democrats on Frist's computer, didn't they ?? ... haven't heard much about that story lately, have we ??

13. Are they sure it wasn't a bottle of Castor Oil?
Ricin is what gives Castor Oil it's very special "kick".

Maybe The Good Doctor Frist was using it to de-worm cats or something.

14. It'll probably turn out to BS, but if is isn't...
expect them to CATCH the perp this time. Democrats is one thing, but when they start going after Republicans... well now that just can't stand.

23. Fox just reported they are now saying it "might" be ricin
saying they are being cautious. Wanna bet they find out it's foot powder or denture adhesive? CNN reported that preliminary field tests showed ricin.

that this was planted ... just for the specific purpose of deflection. I would bet MONEY on it.

Fucking creeps!

This is just a taste of the kind of shit they'll do to stay in office. God only knows what they will do come October.

37. A Republican?
The anthrax went to Daschle and Leahy because the scientist knew Dems would push for security from these kinds of things. Or maybe someone has a beef with Frist?

42. How utterly predictable! The Bush Crime Family is in trouble so out
comes the "terrorist attack". Ho hum. You still lied us into war and allowed 9-11 to happen Mr Chimpster, no matter how many orange alerts, biological or bombing attacks you try.
