Apparently, Charlie Cook doesn’t think much of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist:

Charlie Cook, an independent political analyst, in an interview derided [Frist] as a neophyte.

“The most classic case of the Peter Principle I’ve ever seen in American politics,” Mr. Cook said, in an uncharacteristically brutal assessment. “In a business where eloquence and rhetoric is important, he is a man of no talent whatsoever.”

Tell us what you really think!

On a more serious note, Cook is right. Frist is a biography in search of political talent. It’s refreshing to hear someone acknowledge the truth.
