When a baseball team has a piss-poor starting pitcher and the coach fails to either coach that pitcher or replace him, the coach is the one that gets replaced. And at the same time, all the home runs in the world don't mean a hill of beans when your starting pitcher keeps throwing the game.
Bush has the opportunity to kick Frist squarely in the arse. He damn well better do it and get things rolling, otherwise, the Dems are going to continue to run the Hill even though they are the MINORITY.
And Frist, for his part, has shown that he can't get the job done. It's time for him to step aside and to bring someone else into the Majority Leader's office. Someone who has the stones and ruthlessness to get his hands dirty and b*tchslap Daschle and Hillary! and get the job done quickly.
If this kind of wishy-washy, tissue-paper thin, half-assed crap is still going on when it comes time for a SCOTUS nominee to be confirmed, we can kiss any conservative choice goodbye.
And that will be Bush's fault, period.
