Frist's Feline Faux Paw
In this final hour of 2002, America is fixated on the most pressing issue of our time: that Bill Frist killed cats for medical experiments while a Harvard medical student.
This is hardly fresh news. The scoop was first revealed in a 1989 book documenting Frist's work as a cardiac surgeon; the book was written by Bill Frist.
And now,
as UPI reports, Psychos for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is demanding that Dr. Fristenstein show contrition by supporting its legislative agenda. Could this mean that Frist will push legislation to provide free litter to indigent kitties? Or maybe counseling services for female felines victimized by neighborhood tomcats. Or a government grant to study why a cat loves to stick its ass in your face.
Is this the best the DNC and its looney front groups can do? They've been busily mining for dirt on the new Republican Senate leader and all they can manage to find is a 14-year-old admission by Frist that he dissected Puff shortly after the cute-as-a-button kitty wandered out of Dick and Jane's yard.
If the Democrats are reduced to using a borderline-terrorist group like PETA to lob dirt as insignificant as this at Republicans, then it should be a very happy new year for Bill Frist.
