Frist's presidential aspirations dim

Didn't W just appoint ex-Rep. Chris Cox as new SEC chief? This isn't very collegial:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission and federal prosecutors are investigating Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's sale of stock in HCA Inc., the hospital operating company founded by his family.
In a statement released Friday, the Nashville-based company said federal prosecutors for the Southern District of New York issued a subpoena for documents HCA believes are related to the sale of its stock by the senator.
Frist's office confirmed the SEC is looking into the sale.

    Spook...

    Interesting story here. Seems like the bad news just keeps pouring on the administration. Again, though, that seems to be our basic way of dealing with a 2-term president. With so many years left, one has to wonder what will happen next...
