What makes you think Frist is any less of a wuss himself?
Body language tells me that Lugar is loaded with estrogen and is not mean enough to do this job. Frist is cocky and pretends to be nice but remember he used to cut into chests for a living and I do not think the dems want to get too much on his bad side,they might need him for CPR one day especially as long in the tooth as they are. Frist does not make me cringe. I cannot watch Lugar, he sucked on the Ag committee,but he was much more suited to dealing in that one than this.
