Like choosing between a root canal and an appendectomy.
I'm not thrilled. But he's just the number two guy. Mitch McConnell is about as conservative as you could get to be the Senate leader. And he will be calling the shots -- especially after Lott's time in the wilderness.
To those who think this isn't that big a deal, you need a reality check.
Trent Lott was just about the WORST Majority Leader imaginable. We had control of the Senate, but all Lott could do was "try to work with the other side". He had NO CONCEPT of setting an agenda and working as a Majority.
His selection as Minority Whip is a clear signal that the Senate Republicans have NO FREAKIN CLUE. NONE. This is beyond pathetic.
