OH NO! MR. BILL!

Think Frist is going to get off easy? Think again.
WASHINGTON (Oct. 12) - Over a period of four years, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist accumulated stock in a family founded hospital chain that produced tens of thousands of dollars in income - all outside the blind trusts he created to avoid a conflict of interest, documents show.

The stock was held in a family partnership largely controlled by Frist's brother, Thomas, who founded HCA Inc. along with the senator's late father.

Frist, R-Tenn., has long maintained that he could vote on health care legislation and still own HCA stock because he placed his shares in Senate-approved blind trusts.

Fine. Maybe this isn't proof of illegal activity. But it is rock solid proof that he lied to his constituents and to the American public.

Because remember, it wasn't the sex. It was the lies.

Oh Bill... what are we going to tell the children?
