[Paine in the Neck]

Lott’s looking out for Lott. He and his Squire Patton Bogg’s co-chairman John Breaux are looking to capture some clients.

That and maybe to put some distance between Lott, who did quite well with the aid of corrupt MS politics, and the crumbling Barbour machine.

[C. Edmund Wright]

No doubt he wants to distance himself from the Barbour machine….but that’s GOOD news, regardless of how self serving it is. If the end result is that the Barbour machine crashes and burns, then that will be a great achievement - even if Chris McDaniel doesn’t accomplish anything else.

And for the Barbour machine to crumble, pansy asses like Lott will have to jump ship. They are the only ones on the ship….
