Sen. Trent Lott to Resign

The Big News in the Blogosphere today is that Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) is going to resign before the end of the year.

A lot of GOP Senators and Congressmen are announcing their retirements recently. I view this as a very, very good thing.

The Left-o-sphere also sees it as a good thing, too, but for different reasons. They think it’s great news because they are in the GOP. Unfortunately they do not also understand that it would be good news if the dinosaurs on their side of the aisle — Sen. Teddy Kennedy, Rep. Robert Byrd, Rep. John Dingell, Rep. Jack Murtha, etc.

_______

Sen. Lott has sucked at the public teat for far too long as it is — he was a 6-term Congressman since 1974, before being elected to the Senate on January 3, 1989.

33 years without a real job is long enough. Of course he’s only retiring now to hurry up and get into the lucrative field of political lobbying — where once again he won’t be doing an honest days work.

_______

I think we need more new blood and fresh ideas in Congress, and until we can finally get some term limits imposed on these power-hungry, pocket-lining, greedy corrupt-o-crats — the best that we can hope for is a continual rapid turn-over via elections or self-imposed retirements.

I’m glad that Lott is resigning. The guy was too pork-happy for my taste. I just wish that a bunch of the relics on the left would follow suite.

Lott is a profoundly stupid man, and he’s forever trying to curry favor with the left wing press, having as much success as Linus does when he trys to kick the football.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Senator.

And this burns my ass too. Kennedy is such a friggin hypocrite.

If you are upset that politicians become entrenched and unresponsive, why not support campaign finance reform?

Lott is a RINO. Glad he is leaving. His dishonesty shows by running for reelection, then quitting one year in. Yeah, those lobbying jobs are really lucrative. Maybe BET will hire him!

The cowardly shyster.

I haven’t given a flaming bag of poop about him since he met with the House Managers, when they delivered the articles of impeachment for Clinton.
His words to the House Managers, when the door was closed. “You aren’t going to push this off on us!” Lott set the tone for the failure to convict Clinton on his impeachment, not because there was no evidence, he and the other Senators wouldn’t even look at it, no, he refused to pursue conviction because of the political ramifications it could have for his political career. What a piece of guano. He wasn’t interested in doing his job, but keeping it.
AMF.

As for campaign finance reform, we’ve been down that path, and all it accomplished was the biggest infringement on political free speech in our nation’s history. If we wish to pursue more of the same, first George Soros will need to have his assets confiscated, and deported, then maybe.
Term limits is the single best solution, to prevent fetid and festering meat bags like Lott and the Admiral of the Chappaquidick from remaining in office for their personal interests, and not the nations. The founders never could have imagined career politicians.
