"Democrats assail Frist's Afghan comments. Sen. Majority Leader seen as waving a white flag at Taliban."

It's come to the point where when a Republican demonstrates an acceptance of reality it scares some people.

Score one for Bill.

Oh, and the Rs reaction to him.

"Stephen Hess, a George Washington University professor of media and public affairs, said Frist's comments could hurt Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections and would hurt Frist's own presidential ambitions.

"It is so far out of keeping with what Republicans are saying, and will need so much massaging by his press operatives, that it really casts in a new light the seriousness of him as a future Republican nominee for president," Hess said."

Too bad.
