Lott "I don't have to work with them (GOP) anymore, they threw me overboard!" (202) 224-6253
Tony Snow show
Posted on 05/10/2005 9:13:36 AM PDT by watsonfellow
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.

No one dumped Lott - he quit. He had to. Bush undermined him, publicly, by letting it be known he wouldn't mind if Frist became Majority Leader.

Man, you just don't give up, do you? This is the 3rd or 4th "GOP IS GOING TO SELL US OUT!!!" article from you in the past 24 hours. None of them based on much, I might add.

Foster Brooks is dead... I know. So is Preston Brooks, since 1857. And your point is?

I disagree. Lott was his own worst enemy then. Remember his love in with Tavis Smiley? He needs to be retired back down to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi so he can spend his days fishing for blue tipped crabs.

Yeah, but it would still be cool to see George Allen cane the crap out of Schumer, would't it? Of course, I'm speaking hypothetically here, in historical reference to Preston Brooks's famous caning of Charles Sumner, Senator of Massachusetts, in the U.S. Senate Chambers, and NOT advocating actual violence, which would be against FR rules.

I left a message for him, although I don't think he'll like my, 'every action has a reaction'. The voters just might show him that he has a lot more freedom on his hands than he meant.

when are these politicians going to learn that truth to principles is what is needed; not action to stabalize political careers.
Seems that Lott never will.

But the real problem with Lott was that he was always making deals with the dems, proving what a good guy he was, such a go along, get along kind of fellow. That's why I was not sorry to see him go. Exactly......remember his disastrous "power sharing" deal
with Puff Daschle, following the 2000 election? GOP Senators
never seem to tire from getting rolled by their democrat "colleagues". :(

he said he won't take any criticism from the GOP since they threw him overboard!!!! He sort of joined them in throwing himself overboard when he made that infamous BET appearance. Grabbed himself by the collar and leaped.

I sure hope he has only a snowball's chanch. The choked at the senate impeachment trial; why should he be given a leadership position after he failed miserably as the leader already.

Call Lott now and tell him we WILL throw him overboard in the next election.
I think he's already been told that by the powers that be. His current term expires in '06, BTW.
