I can't quite figure out what the author is talking about; just HOW is it that Dr. Frist is responsible for what his brother did? So he's a stockholder, his holdings were in a blind trust when the alleged problem occurred and he had nothing to do with running the compnay. Where's the "scandal", other than scandalmongering on the fringes?

Where's the "scandal",

Frist is a GOPer. And if the Dems talk loud enough, the words "medical care", and "scandal" in the same sentences should doom him. Esp. if they can find a minority patient who died after being covered by HCA.
It's a simple formula.

Guilt by association. They share the same surname and probably eat Thanksgiving dinner together. That's more than enough for a good conspiracy.

They wouldn't do any mongering now would they? ... well maybe just a tad.....

The same way Trent Lott was responsible for Strom Thurmond's 1948 Presidential bid.

Oh he's a Republican, so he is responsible for everything.
