Actually my reading & comprehension abilities are more than adequate. In fact they must be superior to yours as I did not read anything into the story that did not happen, unlike you.

Bottom line, your out of context cut & paste job does not change the facts as they happened in the real world. There simply is no credible evidence that Frist "lied" as you asserted.

Associated Pravda only contacted Frist's office after Frist's staff notified the proper authorities of a potential CPE shortfall. That is what made this incident a public matter.

<<< Turner [a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Health] said a Frist representative contacted the board on Tuesday to report the situation, and the board's medical director received a letter from Frist lawyer C.J. Gideon Jr. on Wednesday. >>>

Note that Associated Pravda didn't indicate that the Dept of Health knew there was a CPE shortfall before they were notified by Frist's office. Note that AP didn't state they contacted Frist about the shortfall before Frist's office contacted the Dept of Health.

Scandal sells more newspapers, right?

Well, if the Dept. of Health or Associated Pravda knew of the CPE shortfall before Frist's office notified the board, you can bet that the AP would have reported that Frist came clean only after Frist was informed that the media knew about the improper filing. Had the AP broken the story before Frist went public, the AP would have been able to make allegations of some type of shenanigans by Senator Frist in addition to the CPE shortfall. But they didn't, did they? The AP story only makes it clear there was a CPE shortfall & the potential consequences from improperly filing the renewal form. No more, no less.

Of course they carefully worded their story so that leftists would jump to conclusions & see things that never happened, just like you did. That doesn't change what was actually reported no matter how much you want it to be otherwise.

And the fact that this story has died as quickly as it appeared tells you there is nothing there. The leftist MSM would be all over it if there was anything worth hyping to death to harm any conservative.
