The body isn't even cold and already Bill Frist is singing his own praises to his consituent base, getting them primed and ready for his 2008 Presidental bid. An ice cube has a better chance of lasting on the Las Vegas Strip than Frist does of getting the Republican nomination, but he thinks he's got a chance and he's using the pre-election Congressional break to make sure those he serves know what a good boy he's been.
Today Frist sent a letter to the Southern Baptist Convention telling them "Before it wrapped up business in late September, Congress passed an important new law to make it easier to crack down on illegal Internet gambling." Uhh...right...emphasis on the LATE September, and I think you're using "Congress" a wee bit loosely there Bill.
Frist then goes on to state "Internet gambling has grown out of control. Although four major federal laws and hundreds of state policies already make it illegal to gamble on the Internet, enforcement has proven almost impossible." Well it's a good thing this new law has all sorts of enforcement mechanisms spelled out then!! Oh, wait...
