Frist: Showdown On Judges Inevitable

Frist talks to USA Today and says a showdown on the fillibuster is all but inevitable. Of course, because unless the Senate approves absolutely every single nominee Bush ever presents, then it's being absurdly obstructionist.

He's also surprised anyone would characterize his meeting in a church with far-right evangelical leaders who condemn Democrats as godless sinners who hate Jesus for not approving extremist judges as anything other than reasonable and fair.

Frist can't imagine the Dems "acting that radically" by shutting down the government. You mean, as radically as the Republicans under Newt when they did the same thing?

Finally, Frist admits he has more work to do in keeping Republicans in line. As for the Presidency, gosh, he doesn't know if he'll run yet but boy saving lives as a heart and lung transplant surgeon is just as appealing. No, Frist, run for President! We need you to pull the Republican who will actually win his party's nomination over to the extreme right.
