DOCTOR NO

AP--Washington--4/3/05--Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R--Tenn.) at a press conference today announced that he had viewed a videotape of Pope John Paul II made in 2002, and, "Based upon what I observed as a physician, the pope was clearly as fit as a fiddle and by no means anywhere near death. To those who would embalm and entomb the Holy Father, I can only say that what you propose is little more than cold-blooded murder. I am asking the president, the Supreme Court, and our nation's highest moral authority, Tom DeLay, to intervene to save John Paul."
