Frist Caught in Lie on Filibuster
Oh gee what a SHOCK not.

Documents obtained by American Progress show Frist participated in an effort to block one of Bill Clinton's judicial nominees via filibuster, then lied about it. In recent weeks, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has been relentlessly preaching about the evils of judicial filibusters. Speaking to the Federalist Society on November 12, Frist said filibustering judicial nominees is "radical. It is dangerous and it must be overcome." Frist called judicial filibusters "nothing less than a formula for tyranny by the minority."

When Bill Clinton was President, however, Frist engaged in the same behavior he is now condemning.

Frist is a rightwingnut republican. They LIE. Often. It's who they are.

3. When Rumsfailed said he would lie to the American public?
When bush called his base the "haves and have mores"?

When bush said "I don't understand how the poor think"?

4. Frist is a puke.
When he's not killing kitties he's loosening the bolts on Noah's ark and burning the Constitution.
