Wayyyy too funny! Frist e-mail slams "stunts"
In an e-mail that slams Democrats for "pulling stunts" which kept Congress from doing "important work", Bill Frist says that the Dems tried to hold up legislation with political stunts:

"Every minute my colleagues spend on political stunts is one less minute we can spend on port security, the terrorist surveillance program and military tribunals — the security concerns facing Americans."

Gee, same-sex marriage amendments, flag burning amendments, etc. of course, are not considered "stunts" in cat-killer Fristian, who still believes that JFK is alive because he watched the Zapruder film and thought JFK only sustained a flesh wound that exposed a bad toupee ...

1. The biggest congressional stunt of the 21st century was Frist's...
...the midnight Terri Schiavo legislation.

He's such a KING-SIZED asshat, isn't he?:crazy:

2. Oh shush ...
Mr. Frist firmly believes that the congress should not lollydally on wasteful legislation geared towards target groups.

I'm sure he'd speak up and agree with me, but he's busy drafting legislation to ban gays from burning flags showing stem cells.

10. Actually, that'd be a good bit to put on the floor for debate!
Ted Kennedy could champion it! He'd have so much fun using it as a stick with which to poke the GOP on the Hill about their dumb-ass diversion issues. :evilgrin:

"...legislation to ban gays from burning flags showing stem cells." pretty much sums up GOP stunts to keep America from noticing the shit STUNTS they are pulling to keep us from noticing their REAL agenda.

Damn fine job, meegbear! :rofl: if I wasn't so :grr:

3. Don't forget: lying to renew medical license & diagnosing by video
The GOP could not fix the end results of two committee votes yesterday so they just didn't hold the votes.

And let's NEVER forget middle of the night call to vote several times to get bad bills passed literally in the dark of night.

Oh, and Cat Killer & Family have sure made a lot of $$ from things he has rammed through...

Stunts indeed.
