who’s on frist?

I read the column/”love letter” that David Brooks wrote yesterday about Bill Frist in the NY Times and found it really shallow. I thought I was the only one who might think this way until I read this BottleOfBlog entry:

Yes, I admire that anecdote, too. It did take some guts to wait until two days before your wedding, after your bride to be bought her wedding gown, after her bridesmaids bought their gowns, after the bride’s family bought wedding cakes and flowers and food and liquor for guests; after the bride’s family arranged for a church, and a place for a reception, and a band, maybe rented a limo; after all your friends and family made travel arrangements and bought gifts; after announcements were published in the newspaper, it certainly did take a lot of guts to wait until two days before your wedding to screw everyone involved except your bride to be.

Her, you just humiliated. But that takes guts, as well.

Frist is for himself, first and foremost. You can’t expect him to put the country first if it interferes with what he wants.
