Frist denies wrongdoing in stock sale

Frist, Rove, DeLay, all at the top of the Republican party, and all denying that they did anything wrong. Seems to be a pattern. Maybe the Republican party is just a big corruption machine. If I was a Republican voter, I might get tired of these guys dragging down the party. But then, I guess that's not as easy as just pretending they didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

Frist may never get convicted of anything, but if you believe that his brother didn't mention to him that things weren't going so well, then you're an idiot. And his excuse about a conflict of interest is just bullshit. If it was true, he would have sold back when he got elected, or even when he was running for office, in order to be clear. It also contradicts what he's been saying all along about there not being a conflict since he complied with Senate rules. Ok, so maybe he just changed his mind, which is understandable (although he may now be a flip-flopper), but it's way too much for me to believe that his change of mind just happened to magically coincide with his financial interests. Asshole.
