Records: Frist campaign short on money for loan

[3days]

CHATTANOOGA — After big losses in the stock market, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's campaign committee is short of money to cover a bank loan that was due in August, records show.

The committee's most recent filing shows a little more than $10,000 was paid on the $360,000 loan from U.S. Bank.

Records show Frist's committee had losses in the stock market totaling more than $524,000 since November 2000. After paying other expenses, the committee had $312,807 in its accounts as of Sept. 30, according to records reviewed by the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

2 things here:
1 - They want us to put our social security money into the stock market and this well connected oaf couldn't profit in the same thing?
2 - A bank loan that was due in August? I think we need a repo man to go get Frist's bevy of leisure suits and yoo hoo and put them on the auction block.

1. Hm

Can we get a bunch of cats to go do some repo work in the Senator's office? THAT would not be pretty.

2. If we were pulling this we'd be sued and filing for bankruptcy

but silly things like laws don't apply to Kitty Kavorkian and his ilk.

3. Fascinating ...

Isnt it wonderful that the supporters of the leader of the Senate Republicans are losing their ASS in the stock market .... sweet poetic justice sings softly to me ...

Hey guys ? ... Let's chip in and help them defray their losses ... whaddayasay ? ...

My kids werent getting xmas presents anyways ...

4. Oh, we'll wind up bailing him out

you got that right.

5. Sure... I found 5 pennies in the washer this morning.

I'm willing to donate those, plus a strip of tape, a note card, an envelope and a stamp to The Butcher that Ate Cincinnati. The time alone it will take his staffers to deal with it will cost more than the money, and what would happen if thousands of us sent him pennies (rather like the old bullshit tip on a table - 2 cents.) Lots of banks won't take them unless they're rolled and weighed; others take a cut. He'd likely lose money.

I'm especially willing to send it under an assumed name like Kat A. Venger.

7. do any republicans ever believe in paying their bills? are they always....

a bunch of deadbeats?

[gratuitous]

8. Not to worry for the good doctor

Unlike you and me, the bank will be remarkably understanding about Mr. Frist's financial situation. And if some legislation just happens to pass that relieves the bank of some of its more onerous tax or reporting obligations, well, one hand washes the other, you know. And there's nothing unseemly or corrupt about it, so stop saying that!
