Somewhere back in the bad old Clinton days, Lott wrote a letter to Clinton on how Lott stabbed his base in the back on the Chemical Weapons Convention and that Clinton should do the same to his base on some budget issue. Clinton of course took and pocketed Lott's betrayal and kept his own cards on the budget issue. Lott weakened screwed his base and weakened the GOP Senate position on the stupid Chemical Weapons Convention. QED
