Is anyone surprised?
CNN is reporting tha Sen. Billy "The Cat Killer" Frist was sloppy with his financial disclosures.
Majority Leader Bill Frist hasn't been following all the Senate's rules when it comes to disclosing details about his finances.Bill just ain't cut out for politics. Maybe he should try medicine, veterinary medicine.
Frist and his wife are the sole trustees in charge of a family foundation bearing the senator's name, according to Internal Revenue Service forms. However, he has not been listing that position on his Senate disclosure forms, which are made public every year.
Annual forms detailing lawmakers' personal finances are supposed to list all positions members of Congress hold outside government. Those include unpaid posts such as serving as a director or trustee of a nonprofit.
When asked about the discrepancy by The Associated Press, Frist spokesman Bob Stevenson said the senator's office was unaware of the omission.
