Go away, Bill Frist, go away

Bill Frist has been feverishly pandering to Republican constituencies in recent weeks laying the groundwork for his failed bid for the presidency in 2008. After smooching the behind of the religious right on "Justice Sunday" and during the filibuster showdown, last weekend he went for the NASCAR fans, serving as the honorary starter at the Coca Cola 600.

At first glance, it would appear that Frist is a formidable presidential candidate. He has many of the same qualities as the current occupant of the White House- he's a (real) southerner, an Ivy Leaguer, and is from a wealthy family known for some sleazy dealings. On top of that, he's a doctor.

Unfortunately for him, he has one insurmountable skeleton in his closet- he likes to kill cats.

That is outrageous. It'll be interesting to see how the right-wing machine spins that one.
