Trent Lott's Lips Are Still Moving





Lott was joined at the breakfast by former Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, also a former Senate majority leader. The two, co-chairmen of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Commission on Political Reform, discussed issues facing the new Congress and prospects for bipartisanship.
  Mississippi’s congressional delegation is regaining its clout, former Sen. Trent Lott said Thursday.

Lott noted that, beginning in January, Republican Sen. Thad Cochran is in line to become chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee, and Republican Sen. Roger Wicker will take over the National Republican Senatorial Committee, a top leadership post.

Lott was joined at the breakfast by former Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, also a former Senate majority leader. The two, co-chairmen of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Commission on Political Reform, discussed issues facing the new Congress and prospects for bipartisanship.

“People yearn for their elected officials, their leaders, to lead to try to get things done,” Lott said. “It is harder now, I think. My attitude is, why would you want to come here if all you want to do is raise money and get re-elected? Why wouldn’t you want to make a difference?… Just to do nothing is not a conservative position.”

In Mississippi, Lott said, GOP leaders are working to repair damage from GOP Sen. Thad Cochran’s (Congressional Black Caucus to Thad Cochran: You owe us ...) bruising re-election race against Republican state Sen. Chris McDaniel, a tea party favorite who lost to Cochran in a GOP primary runoff. -

It was under his tutelage where the Senate became the place that the Contract with America went to die. We had so many good reforms in the House (i.e. getting rid of the Dept. Of Education) that went nowhere in a large part due to him.

What a ASSHAT!

The Senate majority leader who the dems made a doormat out of from the beginning of the impeachment of the "squirter in chief".

Then tried to sell his soul to save his own ass, for a dumb remark he made at Strom Thurmond's birthday.

Trent Lott resignedm during the middle of his term and without notice, the day before the FBI arrested his brother-in-law, Dickie Scruggs, for fraud in connection with his class action scams and schemes.

What a coincidence.

Nothing like hearing still more crap from Trent "Vacant" Lott once again.
