Why would Senator Frist do this? I can only assume it is because of Rick's image as a ramrod straight orthodox Catholic. Moral leadership is what is needed in this effort but that includes non-hypocrisy. What does Senator Frist respond about why he chose Rick, who has made thousands in donations and lawsuits? It does not figure.
The Republicans are really getting squeezed on this issue. They need a hypocrite who can really talk out of both sides of his mouth. No one can talk out of both sides mouth like Rick Santorum. As his poll numbers have plummeted, Rick has flipped on Intelligent Design and Social Security. I have also heard that he has begun dating men and is pondering a divorce. It only seems fitting that he should bring his complicated morality to bear on the lobbying issue as well.
