Frist Lied On Official Document

Can we stop calling him “Dr.” Frist now?

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist did not meet all the requirements needed to keep his medical license active — even though he gave paperwork to Tennessee officials indicating that he had, his office acknowledged Tuesday.

Tennessee requires its licensed physicians to complete 40 hours of continuing medical education every two years. Frist, a heart-lung surgeon who is considering a 2008 presidential run, submitted a license renewal with the Tennessee Health Department stating he has fulfilled that requirement.

    Isn’t it a felony to lie on a government form? Should he be arrested for practicing medicine without a license?

    Will Duggie claim that since we don’t know that Frist knew that he didn’t actually go to training, that it isn’t a lie?

    Did they take away his PhD too?

    Frist is more wooden than Sequoia National Park. He makes Gore look like Gumby.

    So he needs to sign up for another conference, big deal. 1 year ago at this time Dr. Frist was in New Orleans helping the Katrina victims. Where was Dr. Dean?

    Sorry, not the issue. He said he did when he really didn’t.

    Thanks for playing.

    Speaking of playing, how about one of the Democrats’ favorite Governors, and possible presidential candidate who was not drafted by the Kansas City Athletics despite decades of claims otherwise.

    How did that make Frist’s lie under oath legal? I’m not sure I understand how the the NM incident excuses Frist.

    Can you clarify?

    “Isn’t it a felony to lie on a government form?” Nice shot!

    Round 77, don’t you believe in following the law anymore? Why aren’t you calling for a special prosecutor? What happened to all that Clinton era rhetoric?

    Hypocrits.
