Geez Louise, must they select Trent Lott for a leadership position? That man screams sleaze with his slick hair and attitude. I just don’t understand why anyone would elect him given his toxicity. There are politicians, as I’ve said before,…

This is Unfreakinbelievable:
Sen. Trent Lott, ousted from the top Senate Republican leadership job four years ago because of remarks considered racially insensitive, won election to the No. 2 post Wednesday for the minority GOP in the next Congress.
Lo…

I wish he’d resigned in January when it first came out. That behavior of his showed no respect for his office, for Ms. Lewinsky, for his family, for his staff, his party or for himself. It was a bad year for the country and he put everyone in such a bad position, including the Republicans in the House. What were they supposed to do with it? What a situation.

Americans would have had the opportunity and to decide for themselves if their representatives were serving them, themselves, or their party, and would have been able to determine if their Senators deserved to be returned to office.

Trent Lott denied voters that opportunity.

I really never followed Lott’s career, so I’m flying a little blind on this one. An awful lot of people seem really upset with this, though. Including lefties, so that part is actually encouraging, I think.

Is it just me, or is it becoming increasingly apparent that the Republicans and Democrats are determined to engage in a two year dumb-off? If it weren’t for the fact that there are some very determined lunatics out there trying to kill us, this would be funny.

If you like pork, you will love Trent Lott. I think even his (very bad) toupee is made from bacon.

Putting Lott back in charge of the Republicans in the Senate is almost as goofy as the Democrats running Jimmy Carter for president again.

Lott’s most serious betrayal came during the Clinton impeachment proceedings. Clinton had been impeached in the House, but when the case was to come before the Senate, Lott agreed with Dems and refused to allow the House Impeachment Committee members to call witnesses or to openly present evidence of Clinton’s perjury, and obstruction of justice.

It was so unexpected and bizarre some pundits speculated Lott may have been blackmailed. There was simply no credible explanation for pulling the rug out from under the House Managers. Lott’s decision sabotaged the whole impeachment process and kept the public from hearing the case against Bill Clinton.

The result was Dems got to defend Clinton and vote against removal from office without ever having to face the evidence, which was overwhelming, or have the public see them make excuses and cover up for gross violations of the law.

MSM was there to tell us how it was all a big mistake for the GOP to have brought the charges in the first place, and how the public just wanted it to go away, for the good of the country, of course.

Trent Lott is a Washington insider, who cares more for power, privilege, and protecting his own rear end than he does for anything else. True, he got a raw deal over his birthday remarks, but the reason Republicans sat by quietly and did not rise in his defense is they were glad and relieved to see him go.

Nope.

Like if you needed to butcher a deer you shot on the first day of hunting season, you’d want to go hunting with a serial slash-murderer.
