★☆☆☆☆
Alternate title: "How a Self-Absorbed Amoral Git Was Born"
Senator Frist is a prime example of what generations of corruption, greed, and aristocratic inbreeding will inevitably produce. Kidnapping and experimental evisceration of cats was just one of his early formative career choices. After making obscene amounts of money with investments in pharmeceutical companies and his own private HMO (which was well noted for its ability to turn a profit, provided the insured could be persuaded not to seek medical coverage of any kind), he did what any talentless plutocrat will do: Move on to politics. There, when he isn't destroying America's democratic republic, he continues to mis-diagnose the brain-dead through video, display a pre-Mandelian view of the transmission of disease (to wit, HIV), and is currently under investigation for insider trading. Indeed, rather than the ironically redundant repetition of "Good People" in the title of this book, "Doctor" Frist would have been more accurate if he'd titled it, "The Aristocrats". (For reference, see the movie of the same name. But not near children. Or when your boss might be watching.)
