Looks like Trent Lott and the other spineless GOP have fumbled another one.

[Cacophonous]

It makes one wonder if they fumbled it or spiked it...I mean, c'mon, no one could be that spineless all the time, or that unlucky, or that bad a negotiator.

[Steven W.]

That's TRAITOR LOTT - he gave Henry Hyde the Byrd and he's been sticking it to us ever since ... don't ever forget it.

[JohnGalt]

2002 is going to be a GOP disaster.

[Wrigley]

Who is Trent Lott?

Oh how so very true. Another screaming liberal damnocrat temper tantrum, and these GOP Bozo's, who call themselves "the leadership" blow it again. And why on earth, as the majority, could they not come up with their own bill? We need new blood in there, fast.

You would think Trent Lotts knee pads would be worn out by now. Trent Lott has to be removed and as soon as possible. Well Dems are happy and Dick Gephardt is wearing his Milti Million dollar Smile, I'm sure that's what the airlines handed over to him or will hand over to him. Government Security will not work as long as they can buy the politicians. Airlines should be forbidden to give money to any political group. So now Gephardt will get the Airline Blood money that AL Gore once got. Democrats don't do anything for nothing. I hope Bush will veto the bill.

"It's a victory for both sides" insisted Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. He called it a "good agreement" that has the support of the White House.

You got that right.

The federal employees working at security checkpoints would fall under the Department of Transportation

What?...Why not the new "Homeland Security" joke bureaucracy?...

[Theodore R.]

Trent Lott is a believer in "what government can do -- for the good," as he often says. Trent also thinks the Postal Service does a "good" job delivering the mail. No wonder the Republicans gave up on private enterprise; when they were told the security guards at the airports would be as efficient as the post office, that sealed the deal of Lott et al. Send this "leader" back to Pascagoula! Even Bob Dole looks "strong and vigorous" by comparison. Big government always is the ultimate winner of war, as FDR very well knew.

[CreekerFreeper]

We are complete dorks and idiots. Nothing would have been better than something like this.
