Malice, not incompetence

Jonah Goldberg gives the benefit of the doubt:

I am no huge fan of Frist's (as a politician. As a man I think he's a pretty admirable guy). My guess is that this stock sale stuff will ultimately fizzle out, mostly because I doubt Frist is so stupid as to do what some allege...

The problem is that Frist no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt. We already know he medically diagnosed Terri Schiavo without ever visiting her, and then surprise, his diagnosis turned out to be incorrect.

Atrios suggests that the press always refer to Frist as "Senator Bill Frist, documented liar." I think that title should be modified to "Senator Bill Frist, incompetent doctor and documented liar."
