The New York Times has an article tomorrow (Sunday) about Senator Frist, and here's a chunk of it:

"The short-term evaluations, I believe, will prove to be shortsighted and wrong after we get judge after judge after judge after judge through, plus at least one Supreme Court nominee and an energy bill," Dr. Frist said after a lecture at Harvard, where he received his own medical education. "And we will get Bolton."

The majority leader said the judicial impasse would have never been broken had he not forced the issue by threatening to prohibit filibusters and engaged in an extended buildup to the vote, creating pressure for a compromise.

"Without that sort of leadership, there is no deal to be cut, there are no brokers to deal, there is no deal to be brokered," he said.

Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio, who was one of the seven Republicans who worked with seven Democrats to fashion the compromise, agreed.

The rest of the article is interesting too. Compliments to the Times (yes, I said that).
