How long do you think it has been since Karl Rove (or a representative) has had to have a little talk with Mr Frist to "enlighten" him as to what his priorities should be? I'd say the amount of time would be measured in hours or a day at most rather than weeks.

You will be hearing of other republicans who have become "enlightened" in the near future and become supporters of junior's dismantling of Social Security.
