Bush Era Warriors

As Bob Dylan said: "The times they are a changing." Remember back in the Bush era when Majority Leader Bill Frist was diagnosing Terry Schiavo via video and generally stirring up a different kind of crazy? Well, now he's out of politics and saying the strangest things for a Republican. He was quoted in the Huffington Post with this little gem:

"It is not the bill that [Republicans] would have written. It is not the bill that I would have drafted. But it is the law of the land and it is the platform, the fundamental platform, upon which all future efforts to make that system better, for that patient, for that family, will be based."

He noted the law "has many strong elements. And those elements, whatever happens, need to be preserved, need to be cuddled, need to be snuggled, need to be promoted and need to be implemented."

A little creepy, but it's nice to see some bona fide conservatives speak rationally instead of calling everything "job killing" and insisting that anything the President does will spell the end of the republic.
