Sen. Trent Lott: "Yeah, Kids Die in War"
2007-12-06 20:50:00 BIGBUX, VA…12/06/07 12:15pm EST…Officials for U.S. Senator Trent Lott (R MS), who recently submitted his resignation effective year end, announced today that on January 1, 2008 he will become Chairman of the Board and CEO of Dirty Deeds, Inc., a multi-billion dollar U.S. security contractor providing war services in Iraq. While boarding his private Boeing 777, Lott was quizzed about the ethics of the timing, to which he responded, “Yeah, kids die in war, but I can’t think about that, I’ve got shareholders calling me.” Lott then chided President Bush for “not being aggressive enough with Tajikistan over its desire to acquire nuclear tipped spears.” Lott added, “Unless you’re speaking in reference to Senator Larry Craig, dirty bombs are not our biggest threat.” Asked to explain, Lott added “You know what, I get paid by the body, so all I can say is, yeah, Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t fun, but Tajikistan’s different…those people are totally backwards."

Trent Lott To Resign!
2007-11-27 22:45:00 Trent Lott plans to resign his Senate seat before the end of the year. His quick departure immunizes him 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 lobbying Congress. Lott's departure would leave a vacancy in the Senate GOP Leadership. Lott is the Republican Whip, Number 2 behind Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. Why are we seeing so many Republicans resigning?
Is Trent Lott being pushed out of the Closet?
2007-11-27 21:22:00 Let's meet Trent Lott. He's a powerful Republican Congressman from Mississippi. So powerful in fact that he's the "Republican Whip." An honest man. Married. Children. From the south. Conservative. Family values. In a rather unusual, and stunning political maneuver, this powerful man of congress suddenly announces that he's leaving congress. "Out- of the blue. Quitting. Adiós. Goodbye. That's strange. But wait . . . remember Larry Flynt going public a few months back saying he was going "out" another hypocritical politician? A really powerful man, holding high office, living a lie and being hypocrite? Mmmmmm. Is Trent Lott the next GOP religious bigot to get nailed? Is he gay????? Gasp! No. Not Trent Lott! Say it's not true. Let's plunge deep into this backside of this gay rumor and see if we can find some shit. ...

Did Senator Trent Lott Step Down To Avoid A Sex Scandal?
2007-11-27 07:49:00 As you know, Senator Trent Lott (R- Mississippi) annouced today that he was going to step down from his Senate post, and just as it seemed he had successfully rebuilt his reputation as a top-flight elected official. The move came as a suprise to many. Now it seems there may be a good reason for this. (As a note, Larry Flynt did not assert that his information pointed to Lott, contrary to what BigHead DC reports and I'm not linkig to. ) Reconstitution 2.0 reports a story from Big Head DC: Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called ?Fifteen Minutes,? and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He?d often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort ? a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquai...

Good Riddance, Trent Lott!
2007-11-27 03:28:00 Long before I speculated about Trent Lott’s kleptomania, I had been eager to see Mississippi’s junior Senator leave the political scene. It wasn’t just his comments about homosexuality. It wasn’t just his penchant for pork. It was that he had, in his 6 1/2 years helming the Senate GOP, been a largely ineffective leader. ...

Trent Lott Resigning
2007-11-27 00:32:00 Trent Lott, the second ranking Republican in the Senate, today announced that he would be resigning before the end of the year. Lott, who was reelected to a fourth term last year, apparently caught all of his Capitol Hill colleagues off guard with his decision. The linked article cites an unidentified friend of Lott's as saying a major reason for resigning in 2007 is to avoid having to wait two years before accepting a lobbying job under new legislation signed into law in September. In his press conference today Lott denied that health issues or scandals played a role in his decision. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour must appoint a replacement for Lott within 10 days of Lott's departure. Two House members, Chip Pickering and Roger Wicker, plus businessman Jim Barksdale are mentioned as potential appointees. Pickering has already announced plans to retire at the end of his current term and was known to have been interested in one of the Mississippi Senate seats had opened up. ...

MS-Sen: Trent Lott To Resign
2007-11-26 20:02:00 Just when the Mississippi GOP thought it was safe when Thad Cochran decided to run again, this happens.If he resigns before the end of the year, there will be a special election in the spring, if he resigns after the first of the year, the special election with coincide with the general election in November, which means Mississippi, like Wyoming, will elect two Senators at once. He's expected to leave before the end of year when coincidently new ethics rules passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress that would ban members of Congress from lobbying on the Hill for two year after they leave office.An open seat would give the Democrats a chance to win a Mississippi Senate seat for the first time since 1982. Former Attorney General Mike Moore, Current Attorney General Jim Hood and Former Governor Ronnie Musgrove are both potential Democratic candidates for the seat. GOP Governor Haley Barbour will appoint a caretaker for the seat who may or may not run for reelection in 2008. They i...

Trent Lott of Mississippi, the Senate's No. 2 Republican, plans to resign his seat before the end of the year, The Associated Press has learned.No reason for Lott's resignation plans was given, but according to a congressional official, there is nothing amiss with Lott's health. The senator has "other opportunities" he plans to pursue, the official said, without elaborating.Lott is no spring chicken at 66, but we have plenty of other Senators (not to mention presidential candidates!) who are older. It's good to hear that there's nothing wrong with his health, but one has to wonder what would prompt the minority WHIP to hang it up with four years left in his term. CNN Headline News is only saying that he plans to "explore opportunities in the private sector" this morning.My spider senses tell me that it's not part of the Abramhoff mess - if the Dems or Justice investigators had anything on some...

Trent Lott Wins Back Leadership Slot
2006-11-16 10:39:01 WASHINGTON (AP) - Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott, ousted from the top Senate Republican leadership job four years ago because of remarks considered racially insensitive, won election to the chamber’s No. 2 GOP post Wednesday. Asked whether he felt vindicated by the 25-24 secret ballot vote, Lott deferred to newly-elected party leader Mitch McConnell. “The spotlight belongs on him,” Lott said of his Kentucky colleague. McConnell, who was uncontested and will succeed Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee, predicted that he and the rest of the newly-elected GOP team will provide a muscular opposition to the new Democratic majority. Full Story Here: Trent Lott Wins Back Leadership Slot Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, and to all you unbelievers out there, God IS in heaven and all is well in his universe… Trent Lott is back in the position he NEVER should have lost, PC politics and Democratic hypocrisy was the direct cause of Lott losing his position in the 1st pl...
