Sen. Bill Frist - Tennessee

"The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," said Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee. Yet another example of exaggeration and hyperbole by our Senate Majority leader. He is always making statements about how something is "unprecedented," or "never before in the history of our country" and blah blah. After awhile I just ignore him - if he is serious about running for President then he has to adjust: not everything can be "unprecedented." My problem with him is that one year while he was a practicing physician he paid no income taxes - what a trick. Also, he sold stock in HCA, his family's health care corporation, just days before the stock price fell. What a coincidence! And the stock was supposedly in a blind trust so he couldnt and didnt have any access to it. Lastly, this is prejudiced I know, his accent: good god! He has got to learn to talk differently: he sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles. This guy is supposedly super educated (heart and lung transplant surgeon at Vanderbilt Medical Center) so why does he speak like someone bidding on milk cows at the weekly Franklin Tennessee stock auction? I best stop complaining about the sound of Senators' voices, because then I must comment on Sen. Hillary Clinton's high pitched whine while she shakes her head back and forth in the "no" mode. I think the actor Hugh Grant should give voice lessons to some of our politicians to make them sound better. Ever hear the contrast between Tony Blair's speaking voice and George W's? Humorous.
