Tom Delay, Bill Frist, and John Roberts

Boy oh boy, I hope I am not the only one drooling about the recent inquiries into the supposedly dubious actions on the parts of Bill Frist and Tom Delay.

Now, the story is that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D., republican from Tennesse, recently sold all of his stock in a company called HCA Inc., which was a hospital operating company stated by his family. The dubious action is that just a few days after his sell off the company announced it earnings report which was not as good as expected, leading to a decline in the overall stock price. Hmm...this story sounds damn familiar doesn't it???
Of course he denies any wrong doing, but come on...your family's business, millions in shares, the earnings are bad, and you just happen to sell everything right before the report goes out!!!

Next we have House Majority Leader Tom Delay, republican from Texas, indicted by a grand jury on conspiracy charges related to campaign financing. Here is the story on MSN.

Unfortunately, with the good inevitably comes the bad. John Roberts has been confirmed as the next chief Supreme Court Justice. I am not saying I an expert on politics or anything, but when someone is making decisions that are going to affect the lives of every person in the United States for the next several decades, you might actually want to know what they think. I just don't think he was questioned enough, or gave enough in the way of answers. With endorsements such as "Christian Leaders See Potential for Roberts to Be One of ‘The Great Chief Justices in Our History’" coming from the Christian Post, I just do not feel comfortable.
