Wouldn't have anything to do with a certain investigation by Mr. Larry Flynt, or a young man named Benjamin Nicholas, would it?

Trent Lott is resigning mid-term, reportedly in order to get out ahead of more restrictive ethics laws.

and follows it with this from MSNBC,

While the exactly reason Lott is stepping down before he finishes his term is unknown, the general speculation is that a quick departure immunizes Lott against tougher restrictions in a new lobbying law that takes effect at the end of the year. That law would require Senators to wait two-years before entering the lucrative world of lobbying Congress.

Scruggs should anoint himself the new head coach if he thinks it's so easy. If not, he should quit badmouthing Khayat.

Heard that too.
I think he resigned so that he could come back to Washington and be able to be a paid political lobbyist. I think there was a moritorium placed upon members of Congress that they could not be paid Congressional lobbyist's after a certain date.
Too bad this scoundrel did not see fit to serve his constituency with the same zeal and dedication.

A conservative he is not, a self-serving, egotistical, money-grumbling, politically-pussy-whipped-politician he is.

Still it's just speculation

And yes, we can sometimes incorporate the liberal vocabulary, such as "asshole," "jerk-off," and "Shit-for-brains."

(1) Do real conservatives say "faux"?

(2) How the heck was Lott insufficiently conservative?

With people like this, we have a conservative movement in name only...

The answer is not leaving the cause and punishing individuals with a vote against the movement, it is about selecting the appropriate people to represent you.

Remember, you read it here first!

Leaving aside why anyone would prefer being Mississippi's governor to Mississippi's senator.
