Frist pledges to finish two terms in Senate, then work on a cure for AIDS!

[Stephanie]

LOL! That is the biggest lie he has told yet! Says he is not going to run for President in 2008. Will complete two terms and then return to his real love, practicing medicine, either in private practice, in medical missions, or maybe working on a cure for HIV/AIDS. Tell us another one, Frist! Ha ha ha!

No link - he was just interviewed on Jim Lehrer Newshour.

Who needs the Daily Show when you have the Newshour for laughs!

[Dave Sund]

1. ROFL

Says the man who is not sure whether HIV is spread through tears and sweat?

[displacedtexan]

13. Why is it that we DUers never forget a word this asswipe says?

That was the first thing I thought of when I read the original post!

[Mr_Spock]

2. Who cares - Marvin K Moonie - just go GO!

I'll be glad to see that freak go.

[two gun sid]

3. I wonder if he'll be experimenting with cats?

That sick fuck.

[rodeodance]

4. I listened to the interview. He had his talking points that he said over

and over--rather monotoned he is. Jim L. was a pancy!!

[rodeodance]

7. when the 'problem' is that there are too few paying into SS and they

they propose to 'fix' the 'problem' by taking out some of the few people that in the system (say 1/3 of each person/money)--tell me the logic of this!!!!!!!
I am glad he is not my doc 'diagnosing' my problem!!

[eShirl]

5. if he were sincere about finding a cure for AIDS

he'd quit now to persue it.

[jean]

6. he's no researcher - he's a bloody surgeon.

[rodeodance]

8. a surgeon with political clout!!

[Soup Bean]

11. True. He does have a lot of clout.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he DID use his clout and notoriety for good works outside formal politics? He could actually be of a great use in AIDS and Cancer research. I'm not sure I believe him, but I hope he's telling the truth.

[jean]

19. he's the genius who couldn't recall how HIV is transmitted - he's

sidling up to the anti-science wing of the GOP.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Now you're a doctor. Do you believe that tears and sweat can transmit HIV?
FRIST: I don't know. I can tell you --
STEPHANOPOULOS: You don't know?

10. Actually, he was a researcher.

He was a transplant surgeon, and most of them are also heavily involved in research.

[jean]

21. thanks for that info - he just doesn't impress me as a hands on

researcher, but more as an investor in a pharmaceutical panacea for HIV/AIDS. Something he could tack his name on and make big bucks off of without getting his hands dirty.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. Riiiiiiight! I have this bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you..

Real cheap.

[not fooled]

12. Yeah...I guess his "cure"...

...will be to dry up tears and sweat:eyes:

Sounds as though kkk is sending cat-killer out to test the waters. After all, only ~2-3 years to pump up the next sociopath to be a viable pReziduncial candidate :puke: :puke: :puke:

Oh well, at least cat-killer or jeb are better starting material (can walk and talk at the same time) than kkk's last creation.:crazy:

[Divernan]

14. Hah!Just like(twin) Barbara said she was going to work with AIDS kids in

"Africa or Eastern Europe" - at least that's what she said when she was campaigning with her father. When last heard from she was still boozing it up in the Georgetown pubs with Jenna, and they were planning to buy a condo in Georgetown.

Reminds me of those Miss America contestants all wishing for "world peace". Guess they won't be saying that this year - it would get them investigated by DHS.

[Avalux]

15. What an arrogant insincere ass

I've been working in HIV research for years; so many people have dedicated their LIVES to finding the key to HIV. Frist's comment is an insult to all of them.

[Stephanie]

22. Well PBS deserves some feedback on this -

Let 'em have it, please. The statement was not challenged at all by Jim Lehrer. Transcript will be up shortly at www.pbs.org

[maveric]

16. And if he does, he'll make sure its expensive and not covered by insurance

policies.
Only the afflicted rich will be cured.

[kcwayne]

17. Now we know where Bush's 18 billion pledge for AIDS medication

to be given to Africa went. Frist has a corporation set up ready to deliver the "cure" for... you guessed it... 18 Billion dollars. And the cure will be a jeebus prayer book sprinkled with holy water.

[Deja Q]

18. I'm sure he has a cure planned. It's called HENOCIDE:

Genocide for homosexuals.

[ryan_cats]

20. I hate this guy

Can I say that? I hate this guy. Experimenting on stray cats, must have a great bed side manner. Why would someone of his ilk want to cure AIDS, don't they believe it's divine retribution or some such BS?

[jdj]

23. just means I'm gonna tort reform lawyers out of existence so

I can practice germ warfare on liberals.

see, ya gotta know how to read in between the lines.

[Clark2008]

24. Why should he find a cure for AIDS?

Isn't the Rapture coming to wipe us out, anyway?

:eyes:

My "senator" guys. Sheesch.

[Kool Kitty]

25. He's going to work on a cure for AIDS?

Oh, what a saint he is! What a hero! If he's going to start experimenting again, I offer this warning to my feline friends-RUN CATS RUN!!!! HE'S AT IT AGAIN!!!

[autorank]

26. The cure: Everyone uses HCA for government funded AIDS treatment.

What a clown this guy is. He thinks you can transmit AIDS from tears and sweat. These people have no shame.
