3. Here's why
"Frist is an animal lover who said his decision to become a doctor was clinched when he helped heal a friend's dog. But Frist now found himself forced to kill animals during medical research. And his new dilemma was finding enough animals to kill. Soon, he began lying to obtain more animals. He went to the animal shelters around Boston and promised he would care for the cats as pets. Then he killed them during experiments. 'It was a heinous and dishonest thing to do,' Frist wrote. 'I was going a little crazy.'"

4. from Wiki...
While in medical school, Frist obtained cats from animal shelters, under pretense of adoption as pets, for school research experiments in which he killed the animals. In a 1989 autobiography, Frist described his deception in obtaining these shelter cats as "heinous and dishonest". He attributed his behavior to the pressures of school. The incident sparked controversy after a 2002 Boston Globe story repeated the account.

6. I honestly believe that if he is the Repub. nominee (which he won't be)
but if he is...this information will totally doom him. The vast majority of Americans are serious animal lovers and would never be able to look past this.

2. Cat Killer meet Frog Splatter . . . .
Shrub as a boy, a past-time after rain brought frogs to the Crawfrod backyard. No wonder Horses don't like Shrub. I wonder what they think of Frist?

8. Hey, no need to get nasty with Rich Little
In my book Rich was the greatest impersonator of all time. Years ago I was giving a Republican friend hell about Nixon's transgressions, which had at the time come to light. My friend replied, "Hey, that was Rich Little on them tapes." I had no recourse but to concede to his superior articulation of the facts.
