Very good column by Jeff Jacoby on the Trent Lott affair
<A disgrace to a grand old party
At this point I believe the only way Trent Lott could possibly make amends would be to allow himself to be bound to a tree on the White House lawn, and publicly flogged by Condi Rice (cool idea for a Republican fundaraiser? Cable pay-for-view? hmmmm). And give up his seat as Senate majority leader, of course.
