The Hill reports that Bill Frist dreams of bringing his famed incompetence to the Governor's office.
This is almost as surprising as the sun rising.
The former Republican Senate Majority Leader, known for an absence of charisma and basic management skills, imagines that even a dismally boring failure can become the Governor of Tennessee if he has enough money and name recognition.
And then -- voila -- the arrogant one will move into the Oval Office. Or so his delusional dream goes.
So much for the cat killer's love of medicine.
But never mind that the aristocratic poser is responsible for handing the Senate back to the Dems, there's also the very distinct likelihood that by 2010, even Tennessee will be sick to death of the incompetent party.
The Hill:
Former Majority Leader Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is seriously considering a gubernatorial run in Tennessee in 2010, possibly setting up a White House bid further down the road.
Sources in Washington and Tennessee say Frist, who will turn 55 next month, is leaning heavily toward a run for the governor’s office, where he could gain executive experience that might position him to try for the presidency in either 2012 or 2016.
“It’s a done deal,” said a source with knowledge of Frist’s plans.
