Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott said Friday that "it doesn't look good" that the committee might not call any other witnesses, "but I just don't know the details."

Well Senator Lott, that is the problem. You and others who should be minding the store refuse to "know the details" and thus you let slide the corruption that passes for representation these days. Your Senate has become a club where collegiality is more important than doing the right thing.

The Republicans have never learned how to play hardball when it comes to these type scandals. If the roles were reversed, demoncrats would be demanding Torricelli's resignation, and the Republicans, not wanting to look corrupt would oblige. Of course, there is the media factor which would have already run Torricelli out of town if he were a Republican.
