Frist in even more hot water
Outside the blind trust he created, Senate majority leader/douchebag Bill Frist accumulated stocks and earned tens of thousands of dollars, documents show.
Kathleen Clark, a government ethics expert at the St. Louis School of Law, said she doesn't believe the Senate trusts or the Tennessee trust insulated Frist from a conflict because the senator or his brother were advised of transactions and could influence decisions.
"What I find most appalling is the Senate calls it a qualified blind trust when it's not blind," Clark said.
