Frist Exonerated, NYTzzzzz

If you read nothing but leftwingnut screed sheets or the New York Times, you would never know this happened:

Newshounds will surely remember that in the fall of 2005 the press and the lefty blogs spun themselves up into outrage over the timing of Bill Frist's sales of HCA stock. Everybody from AMERICABlog to the New York Times -- admittedly, a narrow ideological range -- were certain of the impropriety of the sales and hoped for their criminality. At the time, I wrote a fairly detailed analysis of the timing of the sales and concluded that Frist had almost certainly acted both morally and lawfully. Nevertheless, the press continued to torture him for months.

Well, Bill Frist has been exonerated.

I expect three days of NYT A-1 above-the-fold coverage to atone for the failure to cover this story.
