But to resign now and imperil the GOP majority would be churlish and would only hurt Lott's own legacy. If Lott were to jeopardize the Republican majority in the Senate, there would be no place he could hide. Every door wou;d be shut to him, and he would have to live on his Senate pension because Bush, for one, has a large rolledex.

That's wishful thinking on your part, Robby.

Lott's family is independently wealthy, and there are lots of Mississippi companies Lott has helped who would be proud to have him on their boards.

Lott's been around longer than George W., especially in Mississippi.
