More room, encouraging words for Brownback

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s decision not to run for president leaves even more elbow room in the right of the field for the likes of Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Blame Frist’s flip-flop on embryonic stem-cell research and bizarre involvement in the Terri Schiavo case, among other pockmarks on his Senate leadership record. Meanwhile, Brownback was urged to run by fiscal conservative pundit Larry Kudlow this week on National Review Online: “He is an uncommonly moral person, who can make an uncommonly good contribution to the uncommonly sagging postelection Republican fortunes.”

    Larry Kudlow served as an advisor to Enron. He advocated invading Iraq. Now he wants Brownhole for President. Sorry bub, three strikes and you’re out.

    …let’s all take a moment to relish the fading away of Bill Frist – this guy would lie about anything anytime. I was on to his act from day one of ascension in the senate. And the Terry Shiavo video-diagnosis opened up this reality. He stood for nothing but lies and greed. I am sure his not running also has something to do with the windfall stock sale he made….just before the value dropped.What makes me sad, is that guys like him, like Tom Delay, these assholes get portraits of themselves hanging in the friggin house and senate. They had no honor other than their commitment to pushing GOP talking points no matter what lie they had to tell.He’s out of our hair but the SOB still thinks he is the schizzle.

    Yes Jim; and lets also relish the demise of dennis Hastert’s power. That one is kind of sad for me since I had supported him in his freshman campaign for Congress so many years ago.
