Washington Post Features Republican Softcore?

When was the last time you read this in the Washington Post?

"Frist smiled and spoke unremarkably from the lectern, reeking of silverback testosterone."

It's part of an incredible puff piece on Bill Frist titled "A Doctor At Heart". It comes as close to romance novel journalism as I have ever seen. With descriptions of Frist in his " jungle-pattern surgical scrubs and a pair of hairy, toned biceps" and purple prose about "The stink of ape sweat and gorilla testosterone soaked his hair and clothes."

OK, this is a description of Frist volunteering at the zoo to help the vets with a silverback gorilla, but puh-l-eeze!
