Bill Frist is about as low a piece of scum as there is

Just when you think Bill the Cat Killer Frist can't sink any lower, he finds a way:

On the same day that a federal judge whose family was assassinated testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee about courthouse safety, Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) described Democratic efforts opposing some of President Bush’s judicial nominees as “leadership-led use of Cloture vote to kill, to defeat, to assassinate these nominees.”

Federal Judge Joan Lefkow was a target for assassination, and her husband and mother were murdered in February of this year. Democratic Whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) hammered Frist's comments and asked they be struck from the Senate record.

Durbin remarked, "When words are expressed during the court of the debate that those of us who oppose these nominees are setting out to 'kill, to defeat or to assassinate these nominees, those words should be taken from this record. Those words go too far."

And this man calls himself a Christian. Amazing. Actually, he's a craven, manipulative political opportunist, who'll step on anyone, even the entire country, to get votes from the insane wingnuts of the Christofascist right.
