Frist Suspends Senate Ethics Debate After Losing on Dubai Vote
March 9 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist suspended debate on overhauling lobbying rules after the chamber refused to prevent a vote on blocking a state-owned Dubai company from taking over terminals at six American ports.
[...]
After the vote, Frist, a Tennessee Republican, said he would delay action on the lobbying and ethics legislation until the Senate sponsors approved a list of amendments and blocked unrelated proposals. He gave no date for resuming debate, and the sponsor of the ports amendment, Senator Charles Schumer, said he still wanted a vote on that issue.
[...]
Dodd said Schumer would withdraw his motion on the ports if Frist promised a separate vote later. Frist refused.

Anyone else notice that Frist (R-Kitten Killer) sounds like Eric Cartman? 'Screw you guys, I'm going home!'
