Something in the water

Do members of the Senate voluntarily sign up for frontal lobotomies? Or perhaps it is Potomac Fever--that insatiable urge to run for president.

The latest query relates to Bill Frist, who decided to show his independence from the right wing by breaking with President Bush on embryonic stem cell research.

NEWS FLASH: The vast majority (kind of like the vast right wing conspiracy) believes that human embryos are potential people. Republicans do not endorse people who screw up on the life issue.

So off goes another lemming, eh I mean Senator, shuffling over the side of a cliff called presidential ambition.
