Bill Frist Dancing With The Devil In The Pale Moonlight

Ken Whitehouse has the amazing story of Bill Frist and his new political partner in crime, Karl Rove:

Over the course of the last two years, Frist has allowed his name to circulate as a possible contender in the 2010 governor’s race. Should he make that race, he would likely clear the GOP field. However, his dalliance with Rove could raise more questions as to which office he is really looking at.

Asked about the Frist/Rove efforts, former Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chip Saltsman, who also managed the recent presidential campaign of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, said that while he was not involved in the effort and had not been aware of the work Frist and Rove were doing, he wasn’t surprised and didn’t think it would have any impact on Frist’s political future.

“This is a very natural thing for Frist to do,” said Saltsman. “He has been working hard to elect Republicans to the U.S. Senate for the last twelve years. My feeling is that he is continuing in that effort.”
