I'll believe it when I see it, I'm sorry to say.

You don't think Frist is a man of his word? The question is not whether he would do it. It's whether he and the other 47 would be successful in getting two of the RINO 7 to turn.

Frist issues new warning on filibusters
Will seek rule change if Democrats block other nominees

In the afterglow of the bipartisan accord announced Monday night to avert a Senate showdown on changing the filibuster rule, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist emphasized Tuesday that he wasn’t a party to the deal and would quickly try to implement the rule change if Democrats resumed use of the filibuster to derail President Bush’s judicial nominees...

Sowell's insight on the purpose of Pubs is just brilliant - they're there to cooperate with Democrats.

They do this because the 3 letter networks are allowed to set the agenda and frame the debate. He who frames the debate wins it. This is a punchline, but this really is Bush's fault. He goes to the 3 letter networks whenever he or his underlings need publicity, and mostly snub the new media that is likely to give him a fair hearing. He needs to change this but he won't, not ever. Can you imagine Karl Rove on Drudge? Or Sean Hannity, to whom George owes his second term?

One very good thing came out of this - Frist was stunned at the reaction, he didn't think anyone was even watching this clown show. He was on Hannity last night, a whipped dog. Pickering was on, too, smart man, he needs to be renominated.
