Politics: Frist Filibuster Douchery

Here's a nice article from the left-wing thinktank Center for American Progress on Bill Frist's recent running-of-the-mouth about filibusters, outlining some flip-flopping concerning his own filibustering during the Clinton administration.

CAP's labelling of the behavior as hypocritical and dishonest might be a little strong, though. Sounds pretty politics-as-usual to me, on both sides of the aisle. Now, I'm all about illuminating this sort of bullshot, since its obviously pretty cruddy behavior. But I think Bill Frist can be perfectly well deconstructed on the filibuster issue without referring to his past actions.
