Bill Frist The Crazy Cat Killer
by RonChusidThe problem with running for national office is that everything you ever did is open to increased scrutiny. The Tennessean brings up Bill Frist’s problem with killing cats now that he is considering running for the 2008 nomination and has a new memoir coming out:
There’s a potential pothole in U.S. Sen. Bill Frist’s road to the White House: He’s a confessed kitty killer.
He fessed up in his 1989 book, “Transplant,” to adopting cats from shelters when he was in medical school, treating them like pets for a while, and then using them in his research experiments. Maybe in hindsight, Trent Lott should have seen it coming.
To his credit, the future senator wrote that it was a “heinous and dishonest thing to do.”
Last week, Frist started shopping around a new memoir to New York and Tennessee publishers. Here’s the burning question: How will he spin the cat tale?
Frist’s political career survived the initial controversy, but a national campaign can be rougher. Admissions such as this may be enough to doom his campaign:
“Desperate, obsessed with my work, I visited the various animal shelters in the Boston suburbs, collecting cats, taking them home, treating them as pets for a few days, then carting them off to the lab to die in the interests of science. And medicine. And health care. And treatment of disease. And my project.
“It was, of course, a heinous and dishonest thing to do, and I was totally schizoid about the entire matter. By day, I was little Billy Frist, the boy who lived on Bowling Avenue in Nashville and had decided to become a doctor because of his gentle father and a dog named Scratchy. By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career. In short, I was going a little crazy.”

“In short, I was going a little crazy.”
A Frist diagnosis we could almost agree with. Given what psychiatrists warn about children who molest animals, ‘little’ is spinning it.
He needs a date with Ann Coulter.
What a lovely couple.
He needs to be in prison. The @$$hole admitted to killing cats for no reason other than to basically toture them.
Most psychologist will tell you a psycopath starts by killing animals.
Anyone who would vote for a person who admitted to enticing homeless animals to him, showing them love for a day or 2 only to experiment on them is nuts.
The next time he stands up at Justice day talking about the santicty of life someone needs to play this quote on a loud speaker
“It was, of course, a heinous and dishonest thing to do, and I was totally schizoid about the entire matter.

By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career. In short, I was going a little crazy.”
Life is life Dr. Frist. If god created it all do you really think he will diffrentiate on Judgement day? I don’t.
Move on are to be blasting this. Where’s peta when it really counts?
nice blog, congratulations from brazil
Even if I did not know of the repulsive and
violent treatment Dr. Frist gave to cats, I
would still think of him as evil and depraved
but the cat story is the proof of the pudding. He was mentally deprived then and
seems even more so today as he is willing to
support the murderous war in Iraq with shallow words and that stupid grin. I am glad he is leaving the Senate and I hope, if
he is silly enough to run for the Presidency,
that he will receive the shellacking of a
lifetime. He has been the poorest leader of
the Senate in history, but who could expect
more when he doesn’t even know how to be a
man? Mildred Perry Miller
