Lott is a covert peter puffer:<BR/><BR/>http://bigheaddc.com/2007/11/26/trent-lott-fallout-the-gay-escort-who-knew-too-much/<BR/><BR/>It's worth a few phone calls if you know anyone in DC or MS who could verify. Lott has really worked overtime to deny rights to gays and he is a close associate of Sen.

Repubs in state want new Republican to run in November with incumbency and support of Barbour, they are going to need that to take on well funded Mike Moore. Lott has never been satisfied brother-in-law and is now stepping aside and justice (it's the FBI now not MS law) can be served without him dropping the ball with his family. Heck, Scruggs is hosting a dinner Dec. 15th at his house with Bill Clinton as a fundraiser for Hillary. Do you think Lott is happy about that considering his utter disdainn for the deeply divided partisan situation in DC? Very interesting things in Oxpatch...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
