"Leader Frist"? In my local paper
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14521531&BRD=2271&PAG=461&dept_id=462943&rfi=6

Frist proposal would provide fair resolution

To the editor:

The proposal Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist sent to his Democrat colleagues this week could not have been a more fair compromise to end Democrat obstruction of President Bush's highly qualified judicial nominees.
Leader Frist's proposal would guarantee President Bush's nominees a fair up or down vote on the Senate floor while allowing all Senators an opportunity to have their say through a guaranteed 100 hours of debate. This is a reasonable resolution to the Democrats' unprecedented use of the filibuster against President Bush's nominees, and will ensure that the filibuster remains intact for use against legislation. A fair up or down vote for highly qualified judicial nominees is too important for Republicans to stand by as Democrats sacrifice decades of Senate tradition for partisan gain.

Sincerely,
Steven Olsen
Chesterfield

2. Actually, that IS how the House and Senate Majority Leaders
are addressed, according to protocol in D.C.
