The Independent Wire

An independent look at today's top political stories. This site is truly an independent slant on the issues, if it appears to be slanted to the left that's only because the other side has been wrong at an unusually high rate as of late.

I thought I heard It All

I just read something that should be mandatory reading for anyone who follows politics. I don't know how I never heard this story before, and the fact that this isn't common knowledge is disturbing because it shows what people are willing to accept.

Senate Majority Leader, Republican Bill Frist used to kill cats while experimenting on them. Did you know this? Shouldn't this be common knowledge considering the enourmous power that the majority leader of the senate wields. And consider that Frist, by all accounts, is planning to run for president in 2008. This is an accurate story which anyone can find further evidence of by doing a Google search on "Bill Frist Cats".

This did happen decades ago, but this is the kind of sick and devious behavior that should stick with a person for life. I'm not saying he needs to go to jail at this time for animal cruelty, but you don't get to dismiss this as just some youthful indiscretion. There is something deeply wrong with this man, period.

And, there is also no way to justify that the Republicans in the senate have somehow made this kind of immoral freak their leader. How much of a weak minded fool do you have to be to accept that this piece of shit is a moral and religous man as he tries to sell himself? What kind of a pretzel would you have to twist yourself into to rationalize being outraged at Bill Clinton's immoral adultery, but you view this man as somehow morally superior to Clinton because he claims to have "conservative" values?

This is a minor story that has nothing to do with the major issues of the day like Iraq, terrorism, or tax cuts; but it is still very important because it speaks to just how warped and twisted are the minds of the religious conservatives in this country.

As far as I'm concerned the point of this isn't PETA. Frist himself admitted that he did this and that it was wrong, and I'm only saying that people should be aware of it. I agree that I couldn't care less what PETA's recommendations or opinions on this episode.

Frist is an immoral person. This episode from the 70's is just an example of it, as are his recent "shady stock deals".

Joe,
I don't know. Because the media sucks is the simple answer. I think the "liberal" media bends over backwards to try to seem balanced, so because of that they give Republicans a pass until they really have something concrete on them, and then they do go after them as you see with Delay. Once they get an official indictment then they feel free to report on it.

However, on the other side, the right-wing media doesn't even try to be balanced and they go after Democrats before they have anything concrete on them. They'll go after them and report on the most baseless rumors. They just play tougher.
