Frist Stripped of License To Operate On Gorillas & Murder Abducted Kittens

The Senate’s own cat-mutilating gorilla surgeon can no longer call himself a doctor. Not legally, anyway.

Bill Frist lost his medical license after he was caught creating a hybrid cat-ape-human species from Terri Schiavo’s stem cells without the Continuing Education credits that doctors need to maintain their practice.

Also, Frist lied about it and got caught. Read about the dashed presidential hopes of Schiavo’s Hero, after the jump.

The AP broke the story today:

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist did not meet all the requirements needed to keep his medical license active — even though he gave paperwork to Tennessee officials indicating that he had, his office acknowledged Tuesday.

Tennessee requires its licensed physicians to complete 40 hours of continuing medical education every two years. Frist, a heart-lung surgeon who is considering a 2008 presidential run, submitted a license renewal with the Tennessee Health Department stating he has fulfilled that requirement.

So let’s see, the GOP favorites to run for president in ’08 are:

* A disgraced cat-murdering gorilla surgeon

* A guy who calls dark-skinned people monkeys

Luckily, the Dem favorites are even more loathsome.
