I DON’T USUALLY THINK OF BILL FRIST AS AN ATTACK DOG, but I just got an email from his office with a link to this post on Feingold’s censure attempt that’s pretty tough, at least for the usually mild-mannered Frist:

Yesterday Democrat Senator Russ Feingold called for a censure of President Bush. The censure reads:

“The United States Senate does hereby censure George W. Bush, President of the United States, and does condemn his unlawful authorization of wiretaps of Americans.”

Senator Feingold is flat wrong and irresponsible.

In fact, when I attempted today to bring this censure resolution to the Senate floor for a vote, the Democrats objected. Proving it is just a shameful political stunt.

I said the other day that Bush’s best hope was for the Democrats to do something dumb.
