I'm curious (and cynical) about the timing of today's "ricin attack" on Bill Frist's office. As I recall, the anthrax deliveries in 2001 shut down the offices of Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy shortly before the vote on the PATRIOT Act, meaning that they had no access to letters, files, and research oppposing the bill prior to voting.
So what is Frist up to, that his office needs to be attacked? Is this a ploy to gain sympathy for Frist, raise his public profile, or simply to draw attention away from the Disaster Budget?
I mean, the Boob Flashed Round the World is, like, so yesterday.....
