Frankly, he's been a weak, appeasing leader

You won't get an argument from me about that nowadays.
But, he was a different man in the 80's. I reckon RR was more adept at twisting his arm than W.

Nevertheless, Lott doesn't deserve to be eaten by his own...especially when the preparing chef sports a donkey on his torque.

Do we desrve to be eaten by Lott? Those are the choices.

It's too late..

Those were arguments for a week ago. We can't have a rubber stamp for the rats leading the Senate.

He's crossed the Rubicon, that BET interview was just over the top.

It's about more than just his absent minded comment. He's become impossible to defend.

Would you agree?: The central question of whether or not Trent Lott should be Senate Majority Leader for the 108th Congress is not about who is pressuring whom, any more than it is about race.

This is about Mr. Lott's overall lack of competence for that leadership role, something which he has demonstrated in earlier years and has continued to, since the night of December 6th.

Also, the question seems to increasingly be whether or not Republican politicians and Senators understand themselves as public servants, or entitled members of self-serving clubs. The USA does not have a noble class, neither a House of Lords.

"...he was a different man in the 80's. I reckon RR was more adept at twisting his arm than W."

No, IMHO Lott has made the same mistake that BobDole, Dubyuh'sDaddy and many other Pubbies have made, they thought they could work with--and Trust--the RATS!! It's a common mistake our side makes, and the RATS slaughter us with our own gullibility every time!!

Lott needs to allow somebody else to lead the GOP Senate Caucus and he ought to take up full-time cheerleading of TheCause...MUD
