The other CIA leak case

Bill Frist and Dennis Hastert had a big idea. Could it have been any worse?

    I'd love to get Bill Frist in a poker game

    The minute I heard about this (and before Trent Lott opened his mouth) I thought that this is not an investigation that is going to make Republicans look good. For starters, the Frist-Hastert response tends to confirm the truth of the story, and the questions raised thereby would come to a boil smack in the middle of an election year. From a tactical perspective, it looks like an incredibly stupid play. (From the point of view of a citizen almost beyond the point of further outrage, I'm for it 110%.)

    How did Frist ever get through medical school?
