It wouldn't even have paid for a tank of gas, anyway

And it had a lovely 'rider' bill attached to allow all the oil drilling they wanted in the Arctic region.
Do they REALLY think we're that dumb? I would say avoid Frist (in any capacity) at all costs!

Frist Blows It Yet Again. $100 Rebate Plan For High Gas Prices Backfires On GOP...
NY Times April 30, 2006 at 11:03

The Senate Republican plan to mail $100 checks to voters to ease the burden of high gasoline prices is eliciting more scorn than gratitude from the very people it was intended to help.
Aides for several Republican senators reported a surge of calls and e-mail messages from constituents ridiculing the rebate as a paltry and transparent effort to pander to voters before the midterm elections in November.
Comments:
Yeah, the $100 rebate was a lame idea and I'm so glad that people are seeing it for what it is.

Surprisingly, however, these were the same people who voted to re-elect Bush so they could get that whopping $200 tax refund.

Glad to see we're not willing to sell ourselves for peanuts anymore. There are much bigger things at stake!
