Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has been subpoenaed to turn over personal records in an investigation into possible insider trading, The Washington Post reported today. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the subpoena within the past two weeks, after initial reports that Frist, the Senate's top Republican official, was under scrutiny by the agency and the Justice Department for possible violations of insider trading laws.

"It seems that for years, Frist may have misled his constituents and the American people about his health care industry stock holdings and the conflict of interest they created as he drafted our nation's health care policy," said Democratic National Committee Communications Director Karen Finney. "This deal raises even more questions about the Republican culture of corruption in Washington, D.C."

When the GOP swept to power in 1994, they promised us reform. We had no idea this "reform" meant turning Congress into a crime syndicate. It seems that everywhere one looks, Republicans are being indicted, accused, reprimanded, admonished or subpoenaed. With great irony we watch a party elected on "traditional values" fall into an ethical ditch and sink into moral cesspool. Isn't it time voters in the Red States realize they were duped? Isn't it time we vote these filthy bums out of office?

Wayne, the hicks in the South are just too damned stupid to realize that they've been duped. Don't expect the light bulb to turn on anytime soon, dude.

Now, now... Not all southerners are hicks. Don't get me wrong, I'm almost ashamed to say that I live in Kentucky, but I am a proud liberal.

If you are a proud liberal, get out of Kentucky now and move on up here to New York City, where you won't be ashamed to admit your place of residence. The breath of intellectual fresh air will be invigorating.

Whoa! The last thing Gay folks should be doing is "generalizing" and "sterotyping" ... Chris I.

I was born and raised in Georgia all of my life - and yes there is a substantial amount of "backwards thinking" going on all over the Red States ... HOWEVER, being a Southerner does not and never will be the equivalent of being "stupid" ... I've met my fair share of "stupid", ignorant, bigoted folks from places other than the South. So I take issue with your broad strokes there Chris ...
