Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 2:42 PM PPM: "and although Frist is a puppet of the extreme right, and I hate his politics, this statement wasn't egregious." I actually think it is pretty egregious in the sense that George Steph. was quoting from a government sponsored safe-sex program. These are the same idiots who are trying to ban the morning after pill and are just trying to strech the truth so far in order to scare parents. I mean we can quibble about statistics all day, but the fact is the message should be about safe sex, period. If they can put just a little bit of doubt in the PTA's mind then next time they decide on the curriculum the right-wing wackos can cart out more bogus science and get their agenda passed...SLIPPERY SLOPE!!! PPM also said: "Most of the time, I'm ashamed that Frist was a doctor (I doubt he practices much anymore)" I saw some footage of Frist visiting the Tsunami victims in SE Asia. This guy from doctors without borders was letting Frist examine one of the kids. Frist looked totally out of place and looked like he had no idea what he was doing. He was totally in the way trying to pose for the news cameras and ended up being knocked out of the way by a real doctor who was trying to get to his patients. —Adrocka |
