Hey a mainstream article that is negative about FRIST
got this in an email.

---------------------------------------------------------
First Read: The day in politics by NBC News for NBC News
---------------------------------------------------------

Between Bill Frist's presidential ambitions and Tom DeLay's ethical issues, two
of the majority party's top three officials seem pretty preoccupied by their own
interests these days. And whereas in the past, DeLay's issues have tended to boil
up and then die down, the coordinated Democratic effort to lump his problems together
with Frist's latest move, as part of their "arrogant majority" case against
the GOP, might have the effect of keeping Delay's problems front-and-center for
longer than they otherwise would live.

Frist's four-minute appearance before the Family Research Council's "filibuster
against faith" telecast isn't until April 24, and Democrats and religious leaders
are likely to keep up their criticism of Frist all week. The move comes quite close
on the heels of his efforts to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case. Frist's office
has charged that Democrats are hypocritical for criticizing him after Kerry attacked
Bush from a church pulpit last October. Even so, Frist, after arguably compromising
his physician credentials by appearing to diagnose Schiavo via videotape, is now
potentially compromising his leadership credentials by using them to try to build
support for himself among Christian conservatives.
