Frist wants to "heal" opponents by cutting their hearts out

"I can play hardball as well as anybody. That's what I did, cut people's hearts out. On the other hand, I do it to cure them, to heal them, to make them better." —Bill Frist (R), Senate majority leader (and transplant surgeon)

Talk about your mixed metaphors: playing hardball while cutting people's hearts out. And just whom does Frist plan to "heal" by cutting out their hearts?

Physician, heal thyself.
