Sen. Frist Becomes Medical Volunteer

"Bill Frist took off his senator's coat on Saturday and flew for New Orleans as a medical volunteer. But what he found among the thousands needing treatment from Hurricane Katrina was a rescue effort in chaos: patients sleeping on luggage conveyors, teams of nurses who didn't know each other's names and a total communication breakdown.

"In the airport right now there is no communication between one unit and another," said Frist, R-Tenn., the Senate's majority leader and a surgeon.

"No coordination with how many people will be coming in the door 10 minutes later," he told The Associated Press. "That's sort of the most disappointing thing. It's probably the greatest failure."..

..."I'm not going to get into finger-pointing now. I did call for oversight hearings _ I wouldn't have done that if I weren't concerned. We've got to do better.""
BreitBart
Finally, I thought congress had misplaced it's oversight calendar.

Frist looking behind his desk for lost calendar:
"could it be down here?"
Moves to look behind curtain:..
It's probably buried deep in the bottom drawer, next to your copy of Iraqs constitution.
"I found it!"
Why don't we E-Mail the Senator and ask him about the Iraqi constitution. Ask what advise he gives to his Iraqi friends?

It will be interesting to see what he has to say as a result of his experiences, especially as a Republican front runner for 08.
