Frist, a look at politics

I was browsing some stuff at NRO and I saw this:

The weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) indicates that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist appears to have a very good defense to suspicions about whether he traded on inside information in selling his HCA stock. Specifically, there is a paper trail showing he set his stock sales in motion long before there was a public warning about earnings expectations. Further, Frist had an incentive to shed his stock that had nothing to do with its value.

To which I reply: So what! Martha Stewart had almost the exact same excuses, and we the people nailed her anyway. You see, when rich and/or powerful people sell stock, they should be put in jail, regardless of the circumstances. Just ask Eliot Spitzer. Also, if two Republicans have a conversation in private, it's a conspiracy. Ronnie Earle will bear me out in that. And you have to believe he wouldn't lie, because he's on a mission from GOD. Just like the Blues Brothers.
