Frist/ricin "a terrorist attack on my life." Frist doth protest too much
http://www.baynews9.com/site/content/33044.html

Mystery continues over how ricin got to Frist's office

(Capitol Hill-AP) -- Officials say they still don't know for sure how ricin powder got into the mailroom of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist but three Senate buildings closed after the discovery are going to be reopened. snip

Frist called it "a terrorist attack on my life." He says he assumes the lethal poison came in the mail. U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer says officials have collected most of the material they wanted from Frist's office for their criminal investigation.

Gainer also says he knows of no links with ricin-laden letters found last fall in mail facilities serving the White House and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina.

3. I find it curious that this happens at the same time as
The scandal of stolen Dem e-mail...a trail that involves (all together now) the office of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.

7. Frist's support for destroying Medicare is sort of a threat to the health
Edited on Thu Feb-05-04 08:40 AM by cosmicdot
of millions of Americans ... as is his family's conflict-of-interest HCA HMO business ... as well as, his over-all support of the fundamentalist, anti-American, right-wing agenda ...

perhaps Cheney's crimes will cause his replacement on the ticket ...
... perhaps Frist will be the sympathetic replacement ... and, if all goes to Diebold plans, Frist-Jeb will try to be selected in 2008 ...

is the GOP only handing out Bush in '04 bumper stickers now, or are they still handing out Bush-Cheney ones, too?

Does this episode of the Twilight Zone ever end? The next 8 months will be nerve-wrecking.
