I don't want Lott to quit the senate. I just don't want him to be the SML. To be honest, I wouldn't have expected him to quit the senate were he not allowed to assume the position of SML. I don't think he's the brightest bulb around, but I don't think he's a quitter, either. It wouldn't fit that Southern code of honor.

I don't know if honor has anything to do with it...Being a senator is not bad: pay, pension, benefits are all excellent, no heavy lifting, people fawn on you...pretty good life for a sharecropper's son. What else does he know to do? There probably aren't a lot of job openings for 62-year-old male cheerleaders.

Sounds good to me - it would be great to see Frist or Santorum in there.

I'm no big fan of Lott, but if he quits the Democraps and their willing Propagada Ministers in the mainstream media have won. Lott was just paying compliment to a 100 year old man! Most people wouldn't have thought twice about his comments until the media decided to read more into them by fabricating this racisim thing. Most Americans didn't even know Strom ran for President much less about the Dixi-crat party! Give em hell Trent! Don't let the propagandists win!
