From Progressive Dems of America, via "SarahLee" over at KOS, comes this gem. Seems ol' Bill Frist needed some new shoes, only thing was, the shoe store was downstairs in the building where Americans United to Save Social Security's office is housed... Apparently the ad hoc demo started out with "Between 35-50 people from Americans United and the Campaign for Americas Future demonstrated against and spoke to Frist who said he support the President's plan which includes privatization and middle class benefit cuts..."
Story from Americans United to Protect Social Security:
And it grew to 50-60 people - 6 DC police cars showed up, one gave Frist's SUV a ticket
- he spoke to our folks for a while - said he supports the president's plan - it was a cordial exchange for the most part - it ended with a big part of the group chanting Senator Frist don't privatize.
- get this - he double parked and held up traffic, got ticketed, got protested - and all this to buy two pairs of shoes from Allen-Edmonds
- one pair cost $235 and the other was $295. He agreed with one of our staff members that privatization was not a solution for solvency.
Senator Frist is blocking traffic to buy $530 worth of shoes and he wants to cut SS benefits for the middle class...

530 BUCKS FOR TWO PAIRS OF SHOES!!!!!!
I doubt he worries about social security other than to funnel more money from the social security fund into his own account. What a jerk!!!!!!
Typical Republican who thinks only of her/himself.
As I have said, Republicans use people.
To his own defense, $530
To his own defense, $530 dollars for two pairs of shoes is really only about 10 Euro (joking), thanks to our worthless dollar.
Frist
This man was a doctor who obviously was so incompetent that he had to leave and ran for the Senate.
I don't care if he goes barefooted, Congress is there to listen to their constiuents, they ignore the people who elect them.
This is going to be a long 3 years. I can only hope that the Democrats can stop this train.
THE GOP IS IN CONTROL......VOTE TO GET THEM OUT.
How much blood will be spilled because of the GOP?
I applaud the people who held the signs about Social Security, the sad part is Frist doesn't give a damn.
A ticket for double parking?
And he blocked the flow of traffic in downtown DC?
Hell, his gas guzzling SUV should have been towed!
Those damn obstructionist
Those damn obstructionist repubs. Now they're stopping traffic.
Did anyone get a peek at what kind of shoes he bought for $500+? With all the wingnut closet gays popping out of the woodwork, I wouldn't be suprised if they were Manolo Blahnik's. A real sweet stiletto, black maybe, with some studs.
Well he is a member of the
Well he is a member of the Gay Old Party
