Holy Smokes…

Wow! Being out of action for a few days takes it toll in many ways.

You may have already caught this story, but it’s new to me. This is a third-down-the-line (or more) post. Josh Marshall has a post, that in summary, puts the focus on Sen. Bill Frist’s office for leaking the information about the secret prisons in Eastern Europe to The Washington Post.

This is all part of the Republican dismantling that’s underway. If you will remember from a few days back, Trent Lott said, according to The Washington Post, “it was a Republican” that leaked the information. At the moment, I can’t find the specific article in The Post to cite that statement, but this is credible — I will provide the link later. Lott may be enjoying some sweet revenge for his de-throning.

Read Josh’s post and those associated with it. The actual story is a trickle down thing.

I agree with Josh’s statement, “Forget the insider trading thing. Can we just get an investigation going into whether Bill Frist is too big a goof to be in the senate?”
