"Visiting United States Senate Majority leader Bill Frist said Monday that Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank in the summer must allow for creation of a Palestinian state.

Frist, a Republican from Tennessee, is on a fact-finding mission. Referring to Israel's planned withdrawal, he said the U.S. must help ensure it "does not prejudice the outcome of a two-state solution" to the conflict.

Before meeting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Frist backed the stand of U.S. President George W. Bush, opposing construction in settlements in the West Bank.

"Our policy is no expansion of the settlements," he told The Associated Press in a brief interview at Sharon's office. He said that was in keeping with the internationally backed road map peace plan, which is to lead to a Palestinian state."

5. U.S. President Frist certainly is feeling his oats lately isn't he?

Mrs. Bill Frist has already begun speaking with her favorite Tennessee interior decorators about her plans for the White House and her next role as America's first lady.

After all, Mrs. Frist's avowed-heterosexual husband has the Pharmaceutical, the Insurance and the HMO corporations all squarely behind him now and locked up for his 2008 candidacy.

Additionally, his nationally televised anointment by James Dobson and Gary Bauer last Sunday has given Senator Frist the solid stamp of approval with the religious right: Frist is the appointed "man of faith" to support in 2008.

President Frist. If you think that sounds crazy, then let the following words --- once thought not only impossible, but laughable --- roll from your lips: President George W. Bush.

7. My migraine just got worse

Ouch. President Frist. Time to take some more meds and go back to bed.

I didn't think we could do worse than Bush. I was seriously mistaken. It's bad enough that the fundies have their foot in the door with Dubya, who I really believe doesn't really give a rat's ass about them except to throw them a bone once in awhile to shore up his base.

Frist however, is a true wingnut fundie believer. :scared:

8. President and Doctor Frist's Pharmaceutical buddies can fix that migraine

with a sure-fire HMO prescribed medication and if it kills you, well your family will never be able to sue.

11. It Could Happen. The Fundies Own the Voting Machinez

Everything looking good for us, up 25 points in the polls,
exit polls look even better....

...then they flash up a picture of the Boosh family sitting around the fire...
(or would they use Frist's family this time?)


...and all the numbers start changing until the Repiglicans "win" again.
