Lott's an idiot...that's the only acceptable answer to all this, unless you foil up and put Trent on Daschle's payroll, even if only ideologically.
I had become convinced that Lott's actions during Clinton's impeachement had been a calculated political move.
If you impeach Bill, Al steps in and gets to run for election as an incumbent, on a leftist crusade to avenge Bill.
President Al for 2.5 terms.
I thought that maybe we should credit Trenton with a solid bit of political strategy.
Then there was the whole power sharing thing.
Now there's this.
This threatens to overturn, for a second consecutive time, the constitutionally elected GOP majority.
On top of that, he's on BET renouncing the entire GOP agenda, I heard someone say that the next thing you know, Trent is going to reveal his support for reparations.
Trent has done more for the Democratic Party in the past six years, than Daschle and Gephardt combined.
Maybe I need to wear foil more often.
Trent needs to step down and sit his term out, not commit seppuku. He was elected by the people of Mississippi to the post of Senator, not Senate Leader, and he should be reminded that the has a moral obligation to his constituency to complete this term.
Then he can retire by not running for re-election.
Having said all that, are we being terribly PC or what?
We spend half our time in FR hammering on politicians because they are meely-mouthed, and will not stand by their principles.
Trent has been doing that for the past 54 years, he makes mention of it at a birthday party, and we're going to run him out of town on a rail.

Oh I know.. He's a dork alright, no argument from me.
I just had misgivings about hanging one of our own (his ACU rating is actually pretty good) over a false charge of racism.
I thought it would be better to contrast it with the very real and overt racism that's become an integral part of the left's platform.. AND, why validate a ridiculous charge?
But that BET thing.. That can't be excused. I can't defend him anymore.
If he quits, he quits.. whatever..
We can't have him handing our domestic agenda to the rats to redeem himself or "buy forgivness"
He's just got to go, imho.
It's about way more than just an absent minded comment at an old man's birthday part at this point.

Lott is 61 years old.
Luis, I can't make heads or tails out of your post. I am totally confused by your remarkably incoherent reply. Please help me out here ; just what were your trying to say ?

I read he may re-enact the Selma March with John "they're coming for the poor, they're coming for the children" Lewis.

Trent said he has a 'contract with the pipple of MS and it run through 06'. He needs to step down yet honor his contract.
