With due respect to General Benedict Arnold, who for good reason was once the most admired man in America (after personally leading a winter assault on Quebec, after building a battle fleet on the shores of Ticonderoga that won a significant naval victory on Lake Champlain, and after leading the assault that won the American victory at Saratoga) and who later -- after being screwed by Congress and pilloried into court martial by the President of Pennsylvania -- changed sides; Trent Lott handing control of the US Senate to Democrats would make him America's greatest traitor ever.

You left out the part where General Benedict Arnold was addicted to the power and was an elitest and wanted to be royalty. The Brits promised him much power and he and his wife wined and dined many times with them - then they stabbed him in the back !
What Lott does will be determined by how much he is power drunk !
