Trent Lott's Likely Replacement Featured In Borat

Sen. Trent Lott's resignation announcement Monday may have woken many on Capitol Hill out of their tryptophan stupors, but speculation over his replacement is not surprising anyone. The focus is on Mississippi Rep. Chip Pickering and Roger Wicker as the most likely candidates to replace Lott.

Pickering announced this summer that he would be retiring from Congress after ten plus years to spend more time with his family. If Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour appoints Pickering to Lott's Senate seat, then he'll be hitting the campaign trail instead of going home. Lott's seat will be up for grabs again in a special election occurring the same day as the November 4, 2008 general election.

And if that's the case, Pickering might find himself answering questions about his cameo in "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." Pickering appeared at a Pentecostal gathering where theories against evolution were cheered and the Chief Justice of the Mississippi State Supreme Court declared that America "will always be a Christian nation until the good lord returns."

Watch the scene:

Take a good look at His picture. Isn't he the A hole You hated in class? ain't HE the guy who sold you that piece of sh#t car and closed the next day? So just like ol Trent only with real hair. Besides-Mi­ssissippi? Only 2 percent of the population can spell the damn states name.

That clip and those people scare the hell out of me!

It can be seriously difficult to believe that there are so many of these people -- nut job, zealots -- that live in this country. I mean, come on -- their actions in this part of the movie speaks for itself: their actions, which they think are serious, come across better than most written comedy ever could. Seriouly, these people look/act insane.

Is Pickering, and the other politicians in that region of the country, also religious wacks like this? Or do they simply pander to them for votes?

Frickin' nutters man. That is some Grade A, primo, craziness.

Is Trent Lott in on the theft of the billions of American Taxpayer dollars, by the Haley Bargour Administration, from the Hurricaine Katrina victims, that was turned over to the fellow Neo Con Parasites owning the Conglomerates that are developing the Casinos, Port and Condominiums in place of the homes that were damaged and destroyed? The people the money is intended for are robbed legally by the TREASONOUS Scumbags who are supported by the 11%-21% of Americans who are Neo Cons, Republican Lemmings with their heads up Bush's butt as they hurl themsleves off the Cliff of Stupidity, or the Religious Idiots.
Any rebuttal from the Neo Con Parasites, Republican Mushrooms who are kept in the dark by the Neo Con owned News Media and Communications Conglomerates and fed feces, or the Religious Idiots who need to pray to someone in order to make a common sense decision(God Told me to Invade Iraq)?

These people don't believe in English class, much less science class.

KATHY GRIFFIN IS ON TONIGHT!

This video reminds me of her story where she talks about the Afghanistan U.S.O. tour, when a U.S. general got up on stage and said:

"So, I want you guys to go over there, to Iraq, which is not even the same country as this one, and find that Saddam Hussein, and pull his pants down and f*#k him up the ass!"

For once and for all W. told us all who the base of the republick party really is, it is the party of the "Haves and Have Mores" and yet, on a broader level, the republick party is actually the party for the Haves (money/pow­er/influen­ce) and the Have Nots (Brains).

Watching the video clip, I realized why Tony Blair was concerned about being considered a "nutter" when he was Prime Minister of Britain.

I strongly suggest he relocates to the US. This country is the nutter depot for Christian Reich.

If Lott resigns this year, the Governor of Mississippi cannot replace him because this is not an election year. If Lott resigns next year he must wait two years before he can become a Washington leech. Is he between a rock and a hard place?

Another guy who looks like a linoleum salesman

Note that even "Borat"/Sacha Baron Cohen who can play any absurd situation to the hilt looked very uncomfortable with these crazies. The "dumbing down of America" has reached new and dizzying heights.

Another front pew closet gay, or diaper wearer. Can't tell with just the one grainy photo. The video says he's definately not just boning his wife.

[riverhorse]

i thought lott was already in the borat movie. wasn't he the gay cameraman?

[Airborne2]

Great balls of goobly shit, what the hell is going on, no doubt in my mind this picker head will become the next Senator of M.

This clip looks like one of those Jim Jones, Guyana camps, Borat looks confused like what the hell did I get into......­.........
