Ya' know............Lott's pretty much an asshole and all the things said of him are true but I can't help but feel kinda' sorry for the friggin' dimbulb. There he was saying something nice for a friend's birthday (without thinking it through) and the whole damn world jumps on his ass........including his own party and their pundits. Reminds me of Bill Clinton getting impeached for a blowjob (yeah, I know it's because he lied).

Before all of you come down on me, do read Unc's post above and then agree that we still have a great number of complete dicks which we continue to elect! On both sides of the aisle there are some real problems with more than a few elected officials......at every level! Do you know what I find missing virtually altogether? Do you know what the real problem is? Where the hell is honesty?????

Lott could well have handled this with a bit of honesty instead of the lame statements. So could Clinton. If Bill had said, "Alright....I messed up and had an affair with the girl. It was dumb and it's probably ruined my family relationships. It was a stupid-ass thing to do and I apologize to Ms. Lewinsky and the American public. I can only hope that Hilary will accept the same from me and we can make a new start. Do whatever you must do, but let's stop the damn silly investigations and save some money. Let's not undo the budget work we've done by wasting it on me. Anything else I can tell you?"

I tell ya' that people would have demanded he be granted a third term!!! Lott could do it now, but he won't........and THAT is the problem with Trent Lott and the many others. I can deal with their pasts, I can deal with their stupid mistakes.......Just don't bullshit us to death and expect we will always believe you....although some seem to.
