Trent Lott: 'Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem'
The New York Times ^ | June 15, 2007 | ROBERT PEAR and JEFF ZELENY

Posted on 06/15/2007 10:53:28 AM PDT by Hazwaste

Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Someone might tell him the reason that talk radio is more popular than politicians is that every once in a while the radio host will let the audience speak.

I’ve had a problem with “Valley Girl Trent” ever since he told the Air Force to get with the times and ease up on the EM-banging adulterous female B-52 pilot.

He’s got a freaking tin ear bigger than a washtub.

Trent, a couple hundred years ago you’d be tied to the Liberty Tree, coated in Tar and Feathers, and singing Yankee Doodle. It would be nice if Republican primary voters at some point could ship his light-weight ass back to Mississippi.

Some of these guys apparently were out practicing leaps, vaults, and dismounts while their classmates were studying American Government. The wrong ones got elected.

“Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Wow, what an incredible statement. This shows how out of control this government is. They want total control and the people are getting in the way.

There’s leadership for you! The problem with America is...Talk Radio.

Would almost be funny if some guy at the bar said it.

I think he’s getting one. I’ve been trying to fax, and can’t get through.

Trent Lott Fax # 1-202-224-2262

Remind him: It’s government by and for the people, not government by and for government.

Lott’s turned into a pillar of salt and apparently poured himself on his own self-inflicted wounds.

He has excelled Walter Matthau as a grumpy old man.

“Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

He can deal with it by calling in and defending his positions. So can everyone else for that matter.

Talk radio Free Speech is ruining America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Wanted his words to reflect what he really meant.

He sounds like Hillary Clinton and Hugo Chavez. I remember the speech she gave about “stealing profits” for big gov’t programs. Is Trent Lott going to take talk radio from us.

I was just thinking that there's something more Hilarylike about Trent Lott every day. Not good.

When our Republican Senators start sounding like Jimmy Carter, it's time to clean that part of the house.

This is very disturbing that he thinks something has to be done about talk radio.

It is. VERY disturbing, and he's not afraid to say it. And when he says WE have to deal with it, you know who he's talking about. His fellow communists. They are well on their way to taking over this country. The talk radio bill will be shoved thru next.

Trent Lott is a cancer on America and we must remove it.

We need to “deal with” Trent Lott. Obviously it’s people like him, not talk radio, who are “running America.” To our detriment and shame.
