Trent Lott's still alive

Liars and Weasels Trent Lott Now Supports Ceding Maritime Sovereignty to UN Republican senators who have openly supported ratification include Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Arizona Sen. John McCain. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has praised Lott’s advocacy in support of ratification, saying, “Seeing Trent Lott in the room, I feel a hell of a lot better about the chances for ratification.”              A History of Empty Promises from this Mississippi Carbuncle          ” Lott said that he no longer believes the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — also known as the Law of the Sea Treaty — would “cede our national sovereignty, both militarily and economically,” as he said five years ago when the issue was last brought before the Senate. The treaty would grant the United Nations unprecedented taxing authority over American companies by transferring permitting and royalty payments currently made to the U.S. government for offshore drilling to the International Seabed Authority, a U.N.-created agency that would have the power to redistribute billions of dollars to other countries. It would also commit the United States to accept international arbitration of maritime disputes. For three decades, the United States has declined to sign on. What?  A hypocrite for lobbying in favor of a treaty he emphatically denounced as recently as 2007?  Why no, he argues.  Eighty large  from Shell Oil made him do it. What's the best word to describe this  Mississippi carbuncle? Smarmy?  Unctuous?  Walking douche bag?   *spit*
