By default and as whip, Lott could have done a great deal to minimize the enormous amount of national debt we have accrued. Unfortunately he did not. Future generations might recognize his mild manners for the mild agreement that has put us in an undesirable debt situation.

Key to the whole thing is "restrictions on how soon a retiring Senator can become a lobbyist." That's the gravy train. As long as retiring lawmakers can just slide into multi-million dollar lobbying jobs, integrity is going to come in second (or worse.)

I think the mess being uncovered in Alaska is also going to involve this slimy man Carol Turner.

I thought Trent Lott said a few years back (after the Strom Thurmond fiasco) that he planned to devote the rest of his life to fighting racism. So I naturally assume that this resignation is related to that, and in years to come we can expect to see him haunting the streets of America on his self-appointed task, sometimes crossing paths with O.J. Simpson, who will be engaged in his lifelong quest to find the killer of his wife...

I would prefer the new law to say no one who served in Congress should be allowed to lobby Congress. Especially since they will still be collecting retirement benefits from "us". Two years? Big deal! They make enough money under the table to keep them going for longer than that! I know I sound cynical but I am SOOO SICK of politicians. All of them.

Lott is reneging on his contract with the voters of Mississippi halfway through so his term. His reason ?

So he will not be covered by new ethics laws that take effect on 1/1/08.

What better definition of a person lacking in ethics and integrity at the core than this appalling resignation ?

Trent Lott has written his own epitaph and defined himself. "Here lies a person that put greed before all other values".

People of all political beliefs should be appalled at this naked display of greed, selfishness and lack of honor.

Take this for what it is worth. Perez Hilton's gossip blog claims that Trent Lott was involved with a male escort named Benjamin Nichols and the discovery of the situation has prompted the senator's sudden departure. According to a linked article from the blog Big Head DC, there is a news organization working on the story. How true any of this is, I do not know.

The Republicans keep falling!!!!

Trent Lott oddly and abruptly announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate on Monday.

And now we know why!

The Mississippi Senator reportedly has had a relationship with one high-rent male escort!!!!!

is this true. Why isn't Huffpo talking about this.
