Although I had heard of "Czar" Reed in the dim recesses of an American history course many decades ago, I had never heard the details of this particular story. I think that hundreds of copies of this article should be forwarded to Majority Leader Frist.
And if Frist backs away from the fight and doesn't make the effort, then the entire text of this article should be tattooed on his sorry *ss, IMHO.
Congressman Billybob
Think Frist will resign if he fails in this task? No, he'll blame others and then run for President.
