Our Frist Love

Before we share in this morning's City Paper's nostalgic love in the wake of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's departure from DC, keep in mind that Frist is the main reason why the Congress did not finish any budget work after the November 7 elections. The only time that Frist scheduled for spending bills this year were for Defense Appropriations and Office of Homeland Security. My retrospective on Frist's last months in office would include the fact that he got paid to carve his name in his desk while accomplishing little else for his country.
