The Frist Maneuver: Blame CNN for the Senate's Low Public Regard

Republican Tennessee Senator Bill Frist told CNN that the shrinking regard that the public has for the Republican congressional majority going into the November elections is CNN's fault. Perhaps Senator Frist should pay more attention to polls that show the low priority that Americans place on his pet projects like flag burning, gay marriages, and the estate tax. According to a Pew Research Center study just out, education, the economy, health care, social security and Iraq are the top five priorities for Americans. Blaming CNN is ludicrous when you refuse to allot the necessary time and energy to issues about which Americans are most concerned.
