Gee, before this picture, I always thought that Lott was a happy guy with a funny smile from Mississippi!

So happy that some might even call him "gay"...

[Diver Dave]

Yeah but, you know, he's such a, you know, fun guy - you know.

AOL's not the only one to pick up on the notion of Lott frowning:

From Yahoo!

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) ponders a reporter's question on Capitol Hill in this December 5, 2000 file photo. President George W. Bush (news - web sites), in a stinging rebuke of fellow Republican Lott, said on December 12, 2002 that it was offensive and wrong for Lott to have said a segregationist candidate for president should have won in 1948. 'Any suggestion that a segregated past was acceptable or positive is offensive and it is wrong,' Bush said to loud and long applause in a speech about his faith-based agenda in Philadelphia.

well, you catch on quick to my purposeful double entendre's!

[Spunky]

I think I saw that look before, when the House Managers wanted the Senate
to go forward with the Impeachment of Clinton.

While I hate to see Republicans abused as Lott is being abused, long time Senators seem to become what I imagine Greecian Senators were, empiristic. (for definition, see McCain). I would prefer another majority leader, but I'm not sure I want to see Lott go in this way.

[Still Thinking]

Does he have lips or just a horizontal butt for a mouth?

[Catspaw]

It could be worse. They could've shown Lott in that hat with the pheasant feather.

[truthkeeper]

LOL. I thought the exact same thing when I saw it.

[Hawkeye's Girl]

You mean his pimp hat?

"Come any closer, and I'll segregate your *ss!"

[Jorge]

LOL!

[BenR2]

Good post. Of course, their selection is biased as hell.

[Types_with_Fist]

Of course, it could be that he just makes a lot of goofy faces.

LOL.

[gunnedah]

The picture has been doctored!

[syriacus]

This picture of John Lott's book is unbiased..

"Come any closer, and I'll segregate your *ss!"

I found it funny that his "accusers" on the fraternity issue said that he led the fight and ".... well, yeah, I voted for keeping the blacks out too, but only because I didn't want to cause any breakup in the fraternity, not because I was a racist like Trent and all..."

MSNBC had a report this morning that hinted of an ebbing in this story. The reporter said the latest response from someone, somewhere (sorry, I wasn't paying closer attention) was that "look, it was a different time and a different mindset, people change...yada, yada.." There's got to be a Republican somewhere up there that will show some backbone and call on the RATS to clean their own house (Byrd) before any further steps will be taken with Lott.

The issue here has shifted from stepping down as leader to booting him out all together. If the RATS get that, The Democrat Governor will appoint a RAT, Jeffords will say, "Uh, never mind" and McCain will switch. Republicans will be better suited to remove him as leader and move on. Either that or they could say,

"Hey, he was a DEMOCRAT back then. He was young and led astray by the DEMOCRATS! But, he realized the DEMOCRATS were leading him down a path of deceit, he saw the error in his ways and he decided to turn his back on the rampant RACISM that continues to fester in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY and he joined the Party of Lincoln, the party that embraced desegregation and passed the Civil Rights Act...

Then the Republicans can break out that list of the history of racism in the Democratic Party.
