They Did What With Trent Lott Today?

Republicans really must be in an evil, vicious mood after last week's mid-term elections. That's the only possible way to explain why they would vote Trent Lott as the Senate Minority Whip when the man mooned philosophic that Strom Thurmond was a genius for hating blacks.

Of course, he's second in command to Mitch McConnell who is one of the dirtiest, nastiest elected officials since Jesse Helms and Tom DeLay left Capitol Hill.

The only good news? Well, Lott never quite forgave Bush & Company for not standing up for him more when he was ousted four years ago. His ego often takes first priority when the Bushies want to push.
