In retrospect, Lott was marginally more effective than Frist.
However, I don't know what Frist is having to deal with, nor do I know what the Rats are threatening privately.
So, I am assuming that I don't really have a grasp on anything going on behind closed doors in the Senate, and I simply have to hope and pray that Frist gets a grip on these things. Right now it does no good to undercut Frist. I hope he figures out a way to get around the Rats.
Maybe he could practice by nailing Jello to trees!
