I've wanted him gone forever but I'm not into lynch mobs, especially when there is no evidence of a crime.
Stupidity is still not a crime, right?

Lott is not the most liked Senator on the Hill (there are always several Senators of both parties who he is not talking to at any one time), and the thought occurs that these leaks are not coming from the Democratic left but Republican Senators looking to force Lott out. Lott would have been Majority Leader de facto. There was a lot of unhappiness with him (just look at some these posts) but there was no real vulnerability or reason to challenge him until he stepped on himself, and now this. The Republicans now have an opportunity to put someone else in that position, perhaps from the Midwest or West. Machiavellian, I know, but it happens quite often.

Not the last time I checked. lol!
This is exactly why Republicans have such a hard time getting anything done. They fall for all the crap that the EVIL Dems try to pull. Just like what they did to Newt Gingrich when Hillary Clinton gets a pass on something MUCH WORSE. The COWARDS didn't do anything about that except make a few remarks. BIG DEAL!

No one wants to lynch him (not me anyway) and no one said he committed a crime. Sheesh! He's just not equipped and politically viable as our leader in the Senate right now. He stepped in it himself. Many tried to get him to let someone else lead, but it's not about America, it's not about the GOP - it's about Lott's power-trip.
