NO MORE FRIST? Looks like we’ll be deprived of a Bill Frist presidential run in ’08. That’s a shame, because a politician as entertainingly craven as Frist deserves to have a proper outlet for his talents. I was curious to see how he’d approach a national campaign in light of the midterms. Would he, for example, start attacking the White House for the war in Iraq? Or might he announce he’d changed his mind about end-of-life decisions and go and personally pull some plugs? It promised to be good, whatever it was. But I guess he felt it was going to be too hard to zig after the political winds had abruptly zagged. He’s probably right, but I wish he’d have given it a try all the same. For my sake.
