Sen. Bill Frist shows us again how to talk out of both sides of your mouth (via Firedoglake):

Frist, while giving a Senate tour to Republican activists last night:

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told Republican Party activists on Friday night that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was the "worst nightmare of liberal Democrats."

Frist's spokesman afterwards:

Frist spokesman Bob Stevenson said that Alito "is a thoughtful mainstream conservative jurist who is well respected by his peers, by Democrats and Republicans alike."

    There's no conflict in those statements. Frist is pointing out that it's only a minority of Dems making the real noise, which is true. And Alito's Dem peers (a reference to those who have worked directly with him in the legal system) have underscored this by openly concurring that he is a good nominee.
