William Burton on the real reason Trent Lott had to resign:
Trent Lott is a racist, but that’s not why the Republicans forced him out. Trent Lott is not a particularly likable guy, but that’s not why the Republicans forced him out. Trent Lott made a habit of manipulating Senate rules more boldly than any majority leader since LBJ, but that’s not why the Republicans forced him out.
Chalk another one up for Bill Clinton’s Penis.
The Republicans forced out Trent Lott because they’d never forgiven him for not kicking Bill Clinton out of office when he had the chance.
