When asked about the state of the Congress Lott responded with his concern about the declining civility in both houses. This is classic Trent Lott. His most important goal as the leader of the Republicans in the Senate was the same as Rodney King's - he just wanted to be loved and to get along with the Democrats. The problem is that the Democrats are not so naive and so they naturally took old Trent to cleaners on a regular basis.
Sorry, but I don't give $.02 for civility in Congress. I care about what they actually do that affects my life - raising taxes and giving money away to their friends and to buy votes and failing to properly defend this country against our enemies. That's what Trent Lott should have been taking care of and he didn't. I won't miss him for a minute.
Sometimes I yearn for the days when Congressmen would break canes over each others' heads. I wouldn't even mind seeing a little Taiwan style full-contact legislation.
And if any Republican does break a cane over a 'Rats head, I will send him a new one.
