The $100 "gas rebate" check
Is it actually possible to understimate the intelligence of the American voter? Apparently it is, if you're Bill Frist.
But he's an experienced professional. Don't try it at home.
He's just relying on available data. After 2004, it was clear that 50% of Americans were eminently BS-able. The 'deja Iraq' prep for the Iran war is another point in favor of Barnum's famous saying.
