      Posted by RobBaxter from Rbaxter.blogspot

      CBC Radio is reporting that Harrie Hahanee has died. Perhaps she will be remembered as the first person to die as a result of protesting development around the 2010 Winter Olympics.

      John Kerry: The “Retreatican Party"

      Posted by Billbar from The Democratic Daily

      So Bill Frist wants the Taliban to be a part of the government in Afghanistan? If we can’t beat them, join them? I could say it’s Dr. Frist’s worst diagnosis since the public spectacle of his Terri Schiavo diagnosis on the Senate floor. I could say that Bill Frist who once pathetically labeled Democrats who are right about Iraq the “Defeatocrat Party,” is now the Senate’s leading spokesperson for those who are dead wrong on Afghanistan – the “Retreaticans.”

      From The Department of You Can't Make This Up

      Posted by Billbar from firedoglake

      Woke up this morning to find that we had lost another two American soldiers in Afghanistan yesterday in a battle with the resurgent Taliban…but that Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist thinks we should just negotiate with the Taliban and bring them into the Afghan government. Um…hello?!? Taliban equals al qaeda, Bill, or have you forgotten that for some reason because I, for damn sure, have not. Appeasement will not work with militants, and it absolutely is not appropriate to abandon the Afghan people — again! — to these thugs who will go back to the dark ages and plotting more terrorism against the US. You think they've forgotten who they are, Sen. Frist? What in the hell were you thinking?!? (PS — does this make Frist an enemy combatant under Bush's newly passed GOP torture support bill?)

    • Frist Breaks With Others in G.O.P. Over Raid

      Posted by Billbar from New York Times

      The House speaker, Dennis J. Hastert, Republican of Illinois, criticized the raid last week and demanded that the F.B.I. immediately return the materials from Mr. Jefferson's office. Mr. Frist disagreed, shifting his position from last week when he had expressed concern about the search.

    • Senate Rejects Award Limits in Malpractice

      Posted by Billbar from New York Times

      The Senate on Monday once again rebuffed a Republican effort to limit jury awards in medical malpractice cases, taking the issue — a high priority for both President Bush and the majority leader, Senator Bill Frist — off the agenda for this year.

    Frist channeling Chamberlain. This guy is all over the map, more so than McCain, and he wants to be president?
