Frist's e-mail habits clear him

Electronic documents provide enough proof to end insider trading probe

WASHINGTON - In the end, Bill Frist's habit of frequent e-mails helped document the former Senate Republican leader's account that he was not involved in insider trading in his 2005 sale of HCA Inc. stock.

The former Tennessee senator was able to show in copies of e-mails given to federal investigators that he began the process of selling his family's HCA stock in April 2005 - well before HCA had disappointing second-quarter earnings and publicly reported that fact July 13, two people familiar with Frist's records said Friday.

Frist disclosed in a written statement recently that he had received letters from the Securities and  Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York saying they had closed their investigations and were taking no action against him.

Bet this doesn't get much airplay on CNN, or on the pages of the NYT.  An honest Republican politician.  Damn.

Now, if he would consider becoming Thompson's running mate ...

Where does he go to get his reputation back?

He goes to the spin-doctors that managed President Clinton's "legacy". They worked miracles for that impeached and revered (NOT by me) President!

Same place that the Guantanamo detainees go for legal representation perhaps.

Frist has never been what you would call a "dynamic" type of guy, but he has always been level and low key.  He was considering a Presidential run until this stuff came up.  He's presently "unattached", and clear of any hint of illegal activity.  This was the worst that the Dems could do with him.

I believe that he and Thompson also served together in the Senate, from the same state (TN).  They are certainly friendly acquaintances, and I think a term as the Vice President may suffice to get his reputation back.  And put a little egg on certain Dems who gloated when he went under investigation.

Frist supports Torture.

Torture is, like Rape, inherently evil, and therefore always wrong.

End of Story.

I believe that very fact disqualifies them from serving as President and Vice President. I could be wrong but, I doubt it.

Could we disqualify Algore, because his father served in the Senate as well?  [:D]

The same way that two Texas oil men are currently in the White House.

One of them registers to vote in some other state for a year or so prior to election time.

Frist... the doctor that said you can get aids from tears? (he'll forever be in my memory as the anal tears dude)




DomKen -> RE: BILL FRIST IS EXONERATED (5/1/2007 8:24:19 PM)

Also the dude who diagnosed Terri schiavo from an edited video tape. Kind of lost any credibility with me right then.

Although I am glad that while venal he is not actually a criminal.
