Bill Frist has has a busy -- and bizarre day. Fortunately, the Senate Majority Project has been keeping tabs on him.
We always knew he was out of touch, but this is just an outrage from the GOP Majority Leader:
“I’d be hard-pressed to say we’re not addressing the issues that mean something to the average hard-working taxpayer out there today.”Those average hard-woring taxpayers would be harp-pressed to think of any issue the GOP has addressed for them.
Later, Frist started ruminating about "clambakes,' yes, clambakes:
“Others in the minority argue that they can return to conference on pensions to haggle further over the pensions and change this or that or talk about the taxes, and I don't know exactly what we would do if we went back to conference with that. Arguments such as where's the best place to have a clambake.”Maybe, he's pre-occupied by yet another ethical violation -- this time involving his family foundation:
“Mr. President, for the record, I'd like to have my clam bakes in New Hampshire -- clambakes in New Hampshire.”
Majority Leader Bill Frist hasn't been following all the Senate's rules when it comes to disclosing details about his finances.It's always something with Dr. Frist.
Frist and his wife are the sole trustees in charge of a family foundation bearing the senator's name, according to Internal Revenue Service forms. However, he has not been listing that position on his Senate disclosure forms, which are made public every year.
