Tony Snow just finished an interview with Trent Lott. Senator Lott wanted to respond to an article in Roll Call to the effect that he had crafted a deal to dump certain judges to guarantee others an up-or-down vote on the Senate floor. According to an account (I didn't hear the interview), Lott called the report "exaggerated," adding that he has worked with Ben Nelson "from time to time" on a deal, but that the proposed deal "isn't much of a deal at all." Lott also stated that he won't accept criticism from Republicans for working with Democratic senators because "they're the same ones who threw me overboard. I'm free. I don't have to work with them anymore." Lott called the Senate a "dysfunctional institution." Lott may consider himself part of the solution to this problem, but in the context of the confirmation battles that remains to be seen.
Excuse me...but didn't Lott go on BET and then back down from various conservative and popular positions in order to curry favor with the liberal elite, JUST SO HE COULD KEEP HIS JOB!!!!!
Flushed him would be a more accurate description.
It was the Democrat outcry that precipitated Lott's loss of his leadership position. How come he doesn't feel antipathy toward the Democrats?
hes got a point
the pubbies did nothing to help him in his time of need
Thank you, I did not have the courage.
On that he is correct however he is no different than any of the rest of them. GOP or Dim, doesn't matter. They are all rotten and of no use to any of us.
". . .the retieewd judge. . . ."
You spelled it just like my grandson says it.
But we can only hope for a challenge to Lott, the Democrat's Republic.
You lay down with dogs, you rise up with fleas. We're sick of your kind, Senator.
Hell, Foster Brooks would be an improvement over this clown!
This Nelson is from Nebraska. The FL Nelson is a total louse.
FYI.
I think that's right. The support for Lott from his own party was a mile wide and an inch deep.
I know..and BTW..meant to thank you..you've done a super job of late keeping us apprised on some of these developments..
Time of need my foot. He stepped in a huge pile of Rottweiler diarrhea, and to make matters worse, tracked that crap in the house without wiping his feet.
Lott is just true to his party, Rhino.
What an arrogant SOB.
Look at your keyboard..(g).all the letters are in the same general area...I'm eating a sandwich with one hand..typing with two fingers, on the same hand, with the other...
Foster Brooks is dead...
"Different things motivate different people," says the Rules staffer. "In the case of Lott, it's anger over the way he was treated by both his fellow Republicans and the media after the Strom Thurmond dustup. He wants his old job back, and he wants to see the look on the faces of people like President Bush and Sen. George Allen when he gets it back."
Lott is known to harbor resentment toward both the President and Allen. The onetime leader believes the former pulled his support for him during the Thurmond kerfuffle; the latter worked behind the scenes against Lott to push the candidacy of Sen. Bill Frist for the leadership post.
Senators Trent Lott and Tom Daschle share a light moment as they go over the last details in their historic power sharing agreement in Lott's office. 1/4/01
Fine .. LET HIM JOIN JIM JEFFORDS
GET HIM OUT OF OUR PARTY !!!
