Poor Trent Lott. With his home destroyed he may decide not to run for reelection.
Everyone deserves the right to a lucrative stint in the private sector. Especially policians that do the private sector’s bidding on taxes and regulation and then take no-work jobs upon leaving office. But Trent’s Congressional career may not have truly crested:
So, I guess I shouldn’t keep my eye out for Trent visiting Pennsylvania anytime soon. It seems he’d love to see Man-on-Dog get routed out of office.
That’s one thing I have in common with Trent Lott.
If it looks like Santorum is going to win then it appears Lott will call it quits and get rich. In that case there is an outside chance that the Dems could pick up his seat.
Two likely contenders: African-American, former Agriculture Secretary, Mike Espy. And Rep. Gene Taylor.
