Frist's Political Future Darkens Over Questions on Stock Sales
By Laura Litvan and Otis Bilodeau

Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- At the start of this year, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was looking at a bright political future. He led his party to an expanded majority in the Senate in November and emerged as a leading Republican hopeful for the 2008 presidential race.

Less than nine months later, that picture appears darker. Frist, 53, now faces inquiries into his stock sales by the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission that threaten to undermine him politically and provide Democrats fresh ammunition with which to question their opponents' ethics.

7. Frist thinks be is above the law because most certainly he is: I'll eat my

hat if and when he receives penalties under the law and is incarcerated ala Martha.

8. MMMMM~Hat!

I hate to say it, but you are probably right.

However, his political future is in danger, and the burden is lighter for further exposition of the corruption cronyism down the road..

It's like a tiny snowball....

9. If the mushrooming plethora of scandals ever get proper play in the MSM,

there will be little time and space for anything else.

10. We'll get that old razzle dazzle about how his accountant

inadvertently erred. And he'll take responsibility to pay the penalties to correct the mishap.

[cassiepriam]

11. They think that, because they are above the law.

Since when do any of them have to follow the same
laws that you and I follow?

12. Martha Frist.
