(Too many hat-tips to give out, so I’ll just choose one from random – Sean Hackbarth)
Former Senate Republican “Leader” Bill Frist has announced he won’t run for President. From his statement:
Twelve years ago, I pledged to the people of Tennessee that I would serve two terms in the Senate – to serve as a true citizen legislator – and then return home. I said I’d come to the Senate with 20 years experience in healing, spend 12 years serving in Washington, then go right back to Tennessee to live where I grew up. I’ve never deviated from that commitment. And I will do just that.
In the Bible, God tells us for everything there is a season, and for me, for now, this season of being an elected official has come to a close. I do not intend to run for president in 2008.
I’ll give Frist, who I’ve derided as Cave Jr, his due. He knows how to keep his word. Now, where is the next Reagan?
