Frist out-assholes DeLay (for a day, at least)
Bill Frist (the author of Good People Beget Good People, a book about himself and his family) took a day off from dismantling the Senate’s procedural rules to take a photo-op trip to Sri Lanka with colleague Mary Landrieu to grandstand, waste money, and hamper relief efforts.
Some highlights of their trip, from CBS:
"I am good because I come from good people," Frist explained to flood victims.

Some highlights of their trip, from CBS:
Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a medical doctor and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, visited tsunami-stricken southern Sri Lanka on Thursday, tying up two of the five U.S. Military helicopters presently available, reports CBS News Correspondent Allen Pizzey.
…
Just before his helicopter lifted off, Frist and aides took snapshots of each other near a pile of tsunami debris."Get some devastation in the back," Frist told a photographer.
"I am good because I come from good people," Frist explained to flood victims.
