Originally I understood that this picture was taken when Sen. Bill Frist visited a shoe store in downtown DC earlier today to tender an offer to have the establishment renamed in honor of the Frist family.

But it turned out the situation was entirely different.

Apparently, Sen. Frist today went to purchase some shoes at a downtown DC shoe shack by the name of Allen-Edmonds, where he dropped more than five hundred bucks on two pairs of shoes.

Unfortunately, upstairs from Allen-Edmonds was the Campaign for America's Future and the big anti-privatization group Americans United To Protect Social Security.

They pulled together an impromptu demonstration -- with 30 to 50 people -- against Sen. Frist's support for phasing out Social Security and replacing it with private accounts.
