With Frist under SEC investigation and Rove under multiple investigations - dare I hope for a hat trick?

Don't forget the investigation into Bill Frist. And, although I deplore the sentiment, I enjoy the irony of quoting the famous philosopher Attorney General General Edwin Meese III: "But the thing is, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect." (US News & World Repor, 15 October 1985.

If the letters "SEC" and the word "investigation" associated with your name doesn't make you soil yourself, you have had your bowels surgically removed, that's all I'm sayin'.

Makes me go to my happy place, to think f allllll Bush's cronies getting a close look-see.

Bush got a pass from the SEC over his illegalities some years back. When the information came about Frist, I wondered if it is payback for his balking as supporting Bush on stem cell research, and for his rebellion after going down to the Gulf Coast and doing some work that complied with his having taken the Hippocratic Oath... a friend of mine who worked in healthcare told me that Frist was working as an MD when he went down to Gulf Coast after Katrina and was infuriated by the federal mishandling of the disaster and the aftermath, and let it be known he was infuriated by the situation.

And now, Frist's got the SEC after him. It could be coincidence, and then again, it might not be.
