Eleanor Clift Asks, Is It "Payback Time for Trent Lott?"

As you may recall, the White House was very happy to jettison former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott - and now, returning as Minority leader - when the furor over his positive comments about Strom Thurmond's racism made them uncomfortable. So Clift wonders whether Trott, who has since written a book quite critical of the Bushies, is going to help make the Bush Administration very unhappy for its last two years.

One can hope.
