Frist is setting some very good precedents with moves like this. He is being forceful and direct and showing the rats there will be consequences.
Daschle knows he is being busted for being the whiny, manipulative obstructionist that he is.
Thank goodness we don't have Lott there caving in on this. We'd be waiting around for months for things to get organized.
I noticed on one of the Sunday shows (I think it was Wolf Blitzer's), one of the RAT senators called another the chairman of some committee. Blitzer (I think it was Blitzer) "corrected" this to "ranking member."
