Frist, you pathetic panderer! Please go away!
As wonderful as it may be to have such a loser in power over the Senate Republicans, his act only grows more and more tiresome.

Frist Pushes Senate to Pass Bill on Indecency

By Arshad Mohammed
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, May 4, 2006; Page D01

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is trying to push through a bill that would increase indecency fines on broadcasters and threaten to take away their licenses after three violations.

Frist is championing the bill after conservative groups, a key voting bloc if he runs for president, expressed frustration at the lack of congressional action to curb broadcast indecency.

His stand also puts opponents of the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005 in the position of appearing to cast a vote in an election year against decency.

The House passed the bill in February 2005, but it has languished in the Senate, where Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), rather than drafting his own legislation, has encouraged media companies to regulate themselves.
