Frist: Government Unwanted in End-Of-Life Cases
WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who took a leading role in the Terry [sic] Schiavo case, said Sunday it taught him that Americans do not want the government involved in such end-of-life decisions.My Comments:
Frist, considered a presidential hopeful for 2008, defended his call for further examinations of the brain-damaged Florida woman during the last days of a bitter family feud over her treatment. Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state.
The case became a rallying point for right-to-life advocates, an important segment of the Republican Party. It also drew interest from those supporting the right to refuse life-sustaining medical treatment and led to charges that the GOP was using a family tragedy for political gain.
Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he had any regrets regarding the Schiavo case, Frist said: "Well, I'll tell you what I learned from it, which is obvious. The American people don't want you involved in these decisions."
Just shut the hell up and go, Frist. You are so over. Over the last few months, you've shown yourself to be the primary care physician for the culture of death.

I can't believe he still believes he has a chance (not that he ever did). It's still two years away from the first primaries and he's already been sticking his finger in the eye of pro-lifers for some time (e.g., his flip-flop on stem cells). I say he gets five to ten percent more than Alan Keyes in the 2008 primaries.

Now that I think of it, that's way too generous an estimate.
