Lying is one thing, being dumb is another

Frist didn't think these letters would come to light?

Managers of the trusts that Frist once described as "totally blind," regularly
informed him when they added new shares of HCA Inc. or other assets to his
holdings, according to the documents.

In January 2003, after winning election as majority
leader, Frist was asked on CNBC whether his HCA holdings made it difficult for him to push for changes in Medicare, a federal health program for seniors that added to the hospital company's revenue.

'I have no control'

"I think really for our viewers it should be understood that I put this into a blind trust," Frist replied. "So as far as I know, I own no HCA stock." He added that the trust was "totally blind. I have no control."

MY FAVORITE PART:
"He [Frist] could have been more exact in his comments," said Bob Stevenson, spokesman for Frist

"he could have been more exact"????, yeah could have told the truth. He was very exact in his comments. "I have no control" is VERY EXACT. It's absolute and it turns out it was an ABOLUTE LIE.
Shameful.
