Is Shoe About to Fall on Trent Lott?

I hope it not just a shoe but one of those instrument they use to smooth out pavement. He was the Senator Bilbo of later years and has hurt this state tremendously. While I don't wish anyone undue or unearned harm or set backs, I'm unopposed to our elected officals getting rimrodded, indicted or prosecuted for official malfeasance, indiscretions, dishonesty, immorality, or illegalities, et al. Prosecutions, strippings of power and exposure just might deter these kinds of crimes.

Well, what goes around does come around ... eventually ... and blind partisan apologists end up looking like fools. So far in our universe, Bushco and the neo-cons, Melton and now probably Lott and even Barbour have publicly tarnished, proving that warnings by people paying attention were right on. I don't know who certain loudmouthes are going to have left to support.

And at that point, the Republican Party will change. Perhaps back into something to be proud of ... more like the old days before it sold out to racism and Big Greed.

You may end up a Republican, yet, Walt. Never say never. ;-)

Believe or not, Donna, I hate that I can't say anything good about the republican party these days. I would prefer to dog both parties like any good or want-to-be comedian would desire. I'm calling it like I see no matter the hate I receive in return.

Trent's brother in law, Richard Dickie Scruggs, heads north toward his new home today in Kentucky. I hate to see him go and believe he got too much time. I wish it was Trent Lott heading to a new home instead because his example has hurt the state and nation more than Scrugg's dealings ever has.

I hope Sruggs is able to complete the sentence and learn some ethics and morals while incarcerated. And he might want to learn to follow the law while in jail so he will know bribery is wrong by the time he gets out. Let's pray all his criminal partners will soon join him in jail somwhere too.
