RUSH: Yesterday in Washington, the Christian Science Monitor breakfast -- (interruption) You know what's coming? Senator Trent Lott, former Senator Trent Lott, Republican, Mississippi, was the guest, and he was speaking about immigration reform and told a story about immigration reform and the Republicans' attempt to do it in 2007.
LOTT: My phones were jammed for a week or two. Rush Limbaugh gave out my phone number. We lost that vote in 2007 on a procedural vote. I thought we were gonna be able to win that. But over the weekend Rush Limbaugh labeled it amnesty, and labor got a hold of the Democrats and said, "No, we don't want these workers coming in with these visas." So Democrats were coming in and voting "no" because of labor. Republicans were coming in and voting "no" because of amnesty, from Rush Limbaugh. And I'm in the well of the Senate with Jon Kyl and Lindsey Graham, not two notorious liberals, but also Ted Kennedy, Dianne Feinstein and Harry Reid. The six of us are working the vote, and we lost. You know, that was one of the most mind-boggling things.
I still believe Trent Lott’s surprise retirement announcement in December 2007 was connected to his broth-in-laws little legal problem. I will always believe Lott was somehow, someway involved with Dickie Scruggs’ bribing judges.
