Senator Trent Lott announced at a noon press conference Monday that he will resign by the end of the year.

Although the reasons for Lott's resignation are unclear, the Senator's office has cleared out health problems as the reason.

According to Bloomberg News, Lott remained in the Senate for a fourth term to help his state rebuild after Katrina.


The Politico reports on Lott's potential replacements:

Rep. Chip Pickering (R-Miss.), who announced his retirement from the House earlier this year, would be a leading candidate for the Senate seat in the special election. Another possible GOP contender for the seat would be Rep. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.)
On the Democratic side, former Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore has been mentioned as a strong statewide candidate in an otherwise heavily Republican state.

But to be fair with Sen Lott, the rent boy involved is way, way hot compared to those linked with others. And a top-paid, jet-set professional too. It makes that policeman in Larry Craig's case look like a back-up singer in the looks department.

Wow, could Trent "Light in the Loafers" Lott be a closeted Southern gay gentleman? Will Mitch "Oh Mary" McConnell be next? The Senator I've always thought to be gay is Orrin Hatch. Hatch always looks like he's got a vibrating butt plug up his ass and he's oh so perfectly coiffed. So who will be next to be outed? Tune in tomorrow for another chapter of as The GOP Turns.

Whenever I hear about Trent Lott being gay, it makes me remember a Steve Gilliard quote,

"Always use a service, and be sure to pay cash."

He's gay.

In fact, there entire f**king Republican party is begining to look like the gay bund of Hitler's brownshirts. Closeted, full of perverse self loathing and wrecking the world.

Nice job guys.

Do us all a favor. Put on your pumps and hit the bars. You'll feel so much better. (Your wives won't.) But you will.

Republicans: not in the majority anymore so they're taking their bat and ball and going home. Good riddance.

Lott's hurrying to get out before the deadline.
If he abandons his Senate seat before the end of the year he only has to wait a year before he can MAKE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY lobbying former colleagues on behalf of any number of unsavory characters.

I'll certainly miss the man with the baked eggplant on his noggin. What a credit to the Republican party.

Those 2 guys in the photo atop this article have afflicted millions of Americans with poverty, bankruptcy, despair, frustration, anguish and a sense that America stands for injustice and cruelty. They accomplished this by selling Law for money and favors and providing protection for corporate misdeeds against the complaints of the people. Never too old to be a hooker. At least for these 2 old guys.

Republicans Trail Democrats in Fund-Raising

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07.....&fta=y

Since the start of the year, the Democrats raised nearly 50 percent more than the Republicans, $144.3 million compared with $101.7 million. That includes money that the candidates can use in the primary and in the general election.
