Behold...
The most petulant and yet smartest thing Trent Lott has ever said.
Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) said he has told the most virulent Republican opponents that he will not tolerate a raft of amendment votes designed simply to filibuster the measure, and he castigated his own party's senators for their vote switches.Considering the mess you folks have made, I think that's a fine idea."We're going to do this damned thing, and if we don't, I think we should dissolve the Congress and just go home," Lott fumed.
You know, if Republican voters do get around to cleaning house in the party, I hope Lott is one who gets sent back to the private sector.
UPDATE - Senator Byron Dorgan, a Democrat, is speaking out against the bill now and he's making more sense than Lott, McCain and Graham combined.
UPDATE II - Senator Saxby Chambliss, a Republican, is now speaking and making less sense than Dorgan. Hello parallel universe...
CLOTURE FAILS! - Reid says he'll bring the bill back up sometime in the future, but it's dead for now.
