CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's campaign committee lost more than $500,000 in the stock market since the 2000 election and could not cover a bank loan that came due in August, records showed.

Campaign treasurer Linus Catignani said U.S. Bank "rolled over" the $360,000 loan and the money is now due in 2007. U.S. Bank spokesman Steve Dale said the company does not comment on individual loans.

The committee had paid off about $10,000 as of Sept. 30, according to its federal campaign filing. It had $362,000 at the beginning of July, enough to pay off the loan, but lost $32,057, or 8.8 percent, in the stock market in July and August, the records showed.

1. and this is the jackass

that wants to put Social Security in the stock market. Fuck you, Bill, I hope you end up in the unmerciful paws of 437 angry kitty-cats.

After such a fine example of incompetence?

2. I wonder if any bank who loaned a regular, non-Repuke person

money for something would be so kind as to say "Oh, well, since you can't pay for it now that it's several months overdue, then we'll let you pay for it in a few more years . . ."
