Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has championed the "rescue" of Terri Schiavo, is a renowned heart surgeon who has pulled the plug on a "regular basis," his office acknowledged yesterday.Is Frist cynical enough to override the Judiciary, the Constitution and plain old common sense just to help himself in 2008? You be the judge.
