Lott is a self centered,He will treat his own party this way
They haven't treated him very well of late, because of thier self centeredness(if that's a word) running away from him like he was a tar baby.
And his tactic of salting the earth isn't exactly endearing, either. If he would show half the nerve against the Rats as he does his own party, the right would have closed ranks long ago and protected him.
