Crawford We have a Frist Problem

Yesterday we discussed the latest misadventures of the hapless Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist. Joe Gandleman has some thoughts.

Frist is turning into one of the GOP leadership's most fascinating and (for them) troublesome characters.

He reportedly aspires to run for President but unlike Ronald Reagan who was the Teflon President Frist seems to be The Velcro Politician. His graceless and often clumsy attempts to adjust his positions have made him seem less a leader with his hand over his heart saluting the flag than a politico with his finger held up in the political the wind. And as far as being an effective Senate leader, when the history of majority leaders is written he will be to Senate leadership what New Coke was to Coca Cola.
