Sigh. Perhaps Frist wrote that blog himself. Perhaps not. Personally I don’t care because, well, either way it’s got something to do with Bill Frist.

But, I think the phenomenon of major politicians blogging is just lame, lame, lame. No one believes that politicians write their own op-eds. Why should we believe that they write their own blogs? And even if they do, why should we think they’re going to be particularly interesting? As any novice blog-reader can attest, words do not automatically become more interesting because they were blogged. The rush for politicians to get hip to the web just strikes me as another way they try to prove how cool they are.
