SNOW RESIGNS, PAULSON TAPPED
Treasury Secretary John Snow (the guy who signs your money) has resigned. His departure has been rumored for about a month. The Treasury Dept. has been facing a falling Dollar in the world economy lately.
Henry Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, has been nominated by President Bush to replace Snow.
Not super exciting, I know...Let's move on to Frist...
FRIST'S COMMENTS
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R) recently changed his tune on the (most likely) illegal search & seizure of documents in Rep. William Jefferson's office. Frist NOW says that it was leagal, and the right thing to do.
First of all, he's a heart surgeon & U.S. Senator. What does he know about the LAW?
Second, this is a House of Representatives issue. I can understand Speaker Hastert & Minority Leader Pelosi commenting on it, but Frist is in the Senate. What does his opinion matter? He is disambiguous of the House, until Bills are passed, and half the time they can't even do that!
Frist won't have to deal with any internal punishment Jefferson may recieve, like asking him to step down from his committee chairmanships. That's Rep. Pelosi & Speaker Hastert's job. Forgive the continuous critisism, but that's like a member of Microsoft's Board of Directors embezzeling, and the CEO of Google asking him to step down.
Keep your focus on the Senate, Senator Frist. It needs enough work as it is...

Frist probably watched a video of it, then determined it was legal.
Waaaaa, I shouldn't be treated like an american citizen. I'm a Congressman! I am above the law!
W. Jefferson
First of all Frist is a lap dog. But what do you expect from another peg running for the Top Job. Wow, look what we get to choose from (Biden, Kerry, Frist, Allen, etc..) Why don't we just add Pelosi and Reid. Actualy Allen looks pretty damn good in this slop.
