Breaking

[Yo-Yo]

He who forgets the past is condemned to repeat it.

[Parmenio]

Not good.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Oh no!

[Uncledave]

We suck

[Mo1]

here we go again

[ShandaLear]

This is fine, he shouldn't have stepped aside the first time.

[Just mythoughts]

Ah so Dick Morris was right about his friend and employer.

[ilovew]

*rolling my eyes* Nothing proves we're changing direction like re-electing our old leadership...

[montag813]

We suck

"We" don't suck. The party sucks. We have to take the party back, just as the Netroots did with the DNC.

[Howlin]

Ping

This about does it for me.

[UB355]

Helmet head sucks

[princess leah]

Yes, but who is the party's #1? If it's Mitch McConnell, all right.

[jveritas]

Why? Lott will be # 2 among the Senate Republicans, not the leader of the GOP in the Senate.

[xcamel]

revenge is going to be sweet....

[Huck]

That's so retro.

[kalee]

They haven't learned a single thing.

[KoRn]

Just damn!

/barf

[Howlin]

He is a petty little dweeb. I despise him.

[catholicfreeper]

Good Trent is a good guy. Being Majority whip is a tough job and I think he will be good at it.

[Howlin]

Nothing. Not one thing.

[Bahbah]

So we get Mr. "I don't want to hear from porkbusters" Lott. This is most unfortunate. If we get the same in the House, I won't have a party at all.

[Howlin]

He's not the MAJORITY WHIP; he's a backstabber.

[newguy357]

This is fine, he shouldn't have stepped aside the first time.

Of course not. Those racism allegations were ridiculous. But the fact remains, Lott is a pussy and shouldn't be selected for positions of power.

[Pukin Dog]

Senate Republicans finally understand that they can still get their paychecks and perks, without the burden and responsibility that comes with the majority.

Get ready for another decade in the wilderness. Trent has scores to settle, so he is getting ready to bend over and "compromise" on your behalf.

Hey, maybe if we are lucky, he will whip out that stupid hat again? I just hope to get a cigarette and a kiss after what Trent is going to do to us.

[SE Mom]

OMG- this has GOT to be a joke???

[Mo1]

The question is .. what the hell do we do now?

[Howlin]

I wonder if he'll ask Harry Reid to POWER SHARE with him............ROFLMAO!

[aynrandfreak]

Macacca! He's the one who let Clinton off easy on impeachment in the Senate.

[Miss Marple]

Betcha Collins and Snowe voted for him.

And guess what? When it comes time to make TV appearances, the networks will invite Lott instead of McConnell. As God is my witness, you know I am right.

And then they will bring up that racism charge all over again.

[dirtboy]

My gawd, the pubbies are hell-bent on sinking their own ship.

[Sunshine Sister]

I hope you are right even though I can't stand him!

[bonfire]

Thanks for the ping. Trying not to watch news this last week because my heart just couldn't take it anymore. Now this.......

[theDentist]

Senator Trent Lott is elected as the Republican Party's number two

How appropriate.

[Right Wing Assault]

Sounds like "stuck on stupid".

[dirtboy]

We have to take the party back, just as the Netroots did with the DNC.

The netroots didn't take back jack. The Dem leadership is just as corrupt and concerned with their own power and perks as ours is.

[citizen]

Good. I thought Trent was petty bad as a leader....until Frist came along.

[ilovew]

Eh...not as tough as being minority whip though...

[sine_nomine]

RINO whip.

[Miss Marple]

PD, do you happen to know who was running against him? The only way I could take this if his opposition was someone like Voinovich.

[Dixie Yooper]

Watch him admit that the 60 vote minimum was a bad idea. Timing is everything!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Looks like the Republicans are about to "assume the position". This should be no problem for the establishment as they've had so much practice.

[D-Chivas]

Republicans need term limits just as badly as Democrats do. Trent Lott is living proof.

[Michael.SF.]

This is fine, he shouldn't have stepped aside the first time.

I agree.

The dems are somewhat selective at who they go after with a fury and a vengence. Usually, highest on their hit list are those they fear: Newt, Tom Delay, Trent Lott.

After the charges are dropped against Delay, I would relish the thought of his leading a comeback in '08.

[kalee]

we'll have minority status for a long time. The guys just do NOT get it.

[zarf]

Good move ONLY if they have a Pence or the like at #1.. Trent is experienced, pissed off and ready to bang heads.

[woofie]

The Senate has looked hopeless for a while now

Those guys need to get out a bit,fix a roof or dig up some sewer pipes ..... do something useful

[ilovew]

Lamar Alexander.

[Michael.SF.]

It is in the article.

[Vaquero]

That's your lot in life Lalena Can't blame you Lalena

same old crap....
