Frist Plays Doctor

Sen. Frist has launched a new blog called medical matters. I like the idea of him playing up his "doctor" credentials. First, it distinguishes him from the rest of the presidential pack. Second (unlike politicians), doctors are routinely listed as one of the most admired and respected professions (nurses are actually ranked even higher!). With his background, he should "own" any issue regarding health and healthcare. Perhaps this blog foreshadows his upcoming presidential message?
