2. May be a stunt
But a legal stunt, Senate rules allow it, they don't need permission.

3. a stunt that doesn't get 2000 soldiers killed?
THAT kind of stunt? GREAT! Or perhaps a stunt that doesn't commit treason by outing a CIA operative? GOOD!

Frist needs to shut the hell up.

6. I'd love it if somebody would inject Frist with sodium pentathol
either that, or sedate him. He's too emotional.

7. A stunt, eh?
I remember the first time I was really outraged by Bill Frist. It was right after the tsunami, when he stood on a beach on a once-picturesque island and told a photographer "Be sure to get some devastation in the back."

Screw you, Mr. Bill. You're a shameless, pigfucking sleaze.

10. Sure. Here's from the CBS story...
though it was widely reported by many media:

"Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a medical doctor and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, visited tsunami-stricken southern Sri Lanka on Thursday, tying up two of the five U.S. Military helicopters presently available, reports CBS News Correspondent Allen Pizzey.

Relief efforts in Sri Lanka are focused on areas still cut off by both the tsunami and monsoon rains. The anticipated arrival of more U.S. helicopters and the Marines will do much to help get much need aid where it is needed the most, reports Pizzey."

<snip>

"Just before his helicopter lifted off, Frist and aides took snapshots of each other near a pile of tsunami debris.

"Get some devastation in the back," Frist told a photographer. "

11. Nuclear Option isn't a Stunt though is it?
Or stealing elections?

Or Shutting down the government during a democratic presidency?

Or impeaching someone over a Blowjob?
