No Delay isn't even real news. Bill Frist, he's news. He wanted to be our president in '08. This stock sale and all the members of his family bailing out of the stock just before it crapped the bed, and they call it a blind trust???
I think he just lost the nomination. Course didn't Mrs. Clinton do better than could be expected in the market?
Stay healthy,

Youre on compadre, 1 C note against 2 says he's convicted. Fred can hold the stakes
Ms Clinton did OK in the market but it was small potatoes copmpered with Bush's investmant in the TX Rangers tha ntted him over 15 million$$$ for a few hundred thousands of investment (which he borrowed). It could never have been done without him which, as it concerned the use of Emionient Domain made him the posterboy for grabbing away private land for corporate profit.
Frists miiraculous profit at the expense of many kicks back to Bush's selling of Harken stock right before it crashed. He didn't file the papers timely either but no problem--the commission appointed by his dad let him off.
Obviously Frist violated the real meaning of the Blind trust by selling stock out of the fund (profiting by $2--$4 million) but I'm not sure if this is illegal. Its the indsider trading aspect that will do the damage and it sounds a lot like Martha Stewarts problems.
Seeing these characters kicked out or punished for their ethical violations is too much to ask. But this will take Frist out of the Presideential race and without him who do they got?
