A Leader?
Josh Marshall breaks down the hypocrisy of yesterday's speech by Majority Leader Frist, on the Senate floor. Here's the best part, from
MSNBC:
“Mr. Clarke has told two entirely different stories under oath,” Frist said in a speech from the Senate floor, alleging that Clarke said in 2002 that the Bush administration actively sought to address the threat posed by al-Qaida before the attacks.
"Frist later retreated from directly accusing Clarke of perjury, telling reporters that he personally had no knowledge that there were any discrepancies between Clarke’s two appearances. But he said, “Until you have him under oath both times, you don’t know.”
If Clarke's testimony is released and isn't incriminating, we could be witnessing the beginning of the end of Majority Leader Frist. Remember, he originally pledged not to run again...
