One would deduce after reading the spin from whirling dervish Frist supporters about his 180-degree turn on embryonic stem cell research is the White House staff is guilty of shear blindness. Oh yes, Senator Frist has been talking to “a lot of people” including the New York Times. If he did speak to a lot of people his about-face would have wet the pavement long before he tipped off the liberal establishment.
