"Frist stood on the spot where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount..."

PEOPLE IN TENNESSEE couldn't even agree which side to fight on in the Civil War, but today they are united around one proposition: Bill Frist is a wonderful guy. You meet diehard Democrats who think Bill Frist is a wonderful guy, alongside Confederate loyalists. Tobacco-spitting rednecks think Bill Frist is wonderful. So do liberal college professors, suburban rabbis, African-American preachers, society dames, and minivan moms. They really should put it on the license plate: "Tennessee--Home of Bill Frist, Who Is a Wonderful Guy."

They tell you stories. Aware that Bill Frist spent some summers on Nantucket, a school principal wrote him a letter asking what he should see on his upcoming visit. Senator Frist wrote back a 40-page letter describing the history and ecology of the island, and the sights that should not be missed. A weary mom was trying to lug some papers on an airplane. Frist noticed her plight and not only carried them on for her, he waited while the plane was unloading so he could carry them off for her as well. On one memorable day during a tour of Israel, Senator Frist stood on the spot where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount and read the sermon to the tour group. He electrified them with his simple faith and devotion.

And this is not even to begin to recount the tales told by the heart patients whose lives Bill Frist has saved. An old acquaintance went on a local radio station and ventured some criticism of Dr. Frist. The next day he was snowed under with hostile mail from former Frist patients. "Bill Frist is the finest political talent the Republican party has produced," says one veteran Democratic pol. "Bill Frist is the most capable man I have ever met," says a middle aged businessman. "There is still a mystique surrounding Bill Frist at Vanderbilt," says the university's chancellor, Gordon Gee. In a moderately long career of writing about politicians, I've never come across one whose character was so universally admired. I can't tell for sure whether this reflects Frist himself or the graciousness of Nashvillians, who say nice things about people with the same fervor that New Yorkers and journalists say the reverse.

Frist continues, "Local rich kids, scions of socially prominent families, have few crosses to bear in life, but one of them is that they can never fail, not really, not the way others can." So Frist had to work extra hard to prove his merit. Going to Princeton rather than Vanderbilt was a mildly unusual step, which displeased his parents. His career at Princeton mirrored his career at MBA. "Later, I would worry I had spread myself too thin," he would write, "cheated myself of a more emotionally fulfilling college career. At the time, only the ticking off of accomplishments seemed to matter." Medical school made matters worse. It stripped human beings, he later realized, "of everything but the raw, almost insane ambition you must have simply to get through." His diaries from his med school years were filled with minute calculations of how long he could afford to sleep and still master his studies. It was during that period that he adopted pets from animal shelters and then killed them so he could experiment on their hearts. "In short," he writes, "I was going a little crazy."

what hyprocrites the repukes are..

fool

How come he closed the only emergency room in downtown San Jose, CA, and then ran to the county to build HCA a new one way east of downtown?

What would Saint Florian say.

what is in store for us.

woops, I did it again.

that man makes me physically ill. What is it with these frauds who don't have the tiniest iota of faith who have somehow managed to manipulate the stupid sheep around them into believing they are living holy men?

I'll tell ya - Messianic Complex. The scary thing is that upon googling just now for a concise definition to paste in, I just ran across literally dozens of articles "owning" the term, and being proud of having their "new definition" of messianic complex and trying to live a "messianic" life. Talk about the pothead calling the crackhead high.

sounds like the guy walks on water

.

now if we could only bury him with the pope.

and students at the University of Tennessee that don't like him one bit. The author didn't look very hard.

like, you know, "Blessed are the peacemakers?"

in a single bound...

This story is such BULLSHIT

They are chimpstruck buffoons, always have been. You have to consider the source. That bunch is insane.

He is the spookiest, most scaly looking fucker among a whole raft of scaly fuckers. Has anyone ever seen his eyes blink? Ever?

Anyone?

And that tongue ... what's with the bifurcation thing he has going on.

He makes pond scum look like truffles.

I'm just hoping that I don't have to brace myself for 8 years of President Cat Killer. I think that just about would bring about the End Times.

...this Fucking Reptile THINKS he is going to be elected president in 2008.

And if Rove runs the campaign, there's no time to waste.

I never thought I'd say someone was "worse than Bush," but THIS psycho is far, far worse than Bush.

:grr:

kissing.
