I don't have a problem with anyone calling for Lott's resignation, but at least he ought to go out with a flair. He ought to call a press conference for prime time Monday night and offer his conditional resignation.

"I wish to announce that I will be resigning my seat in the U.S. Senate. My resignation will be effective as soon as my Senate colleague Ted Kennedy is indicted for the murder of that poor girl, Mary Jo Kopechne."

If you're going to go down, you may as well go down swinging.

"I wish to announce that I will be resigning my seat in the U.S. Senate. My resignation will be effective as soon as my Senate colleague Ted Kennedy is indicted for the murder of that poor girl, Mary Jo Kopechne."

And: Maxine Waters steps down for false allegations of drug running against the Bush and Reagan administrations, made during the Clinton administration and apparently in order to obscure Clinton's direct involvement while governor.

Robert Byrd steps down for his membership in the KKK.

Any others?
