Thanks a Lott
Pork provider Trent Lott is said to be contemplating a retirement announcement as early as today.
While the exactly reason Lott is stepping down before he finishes his term is unknown, the general speculation is that a quick departure immunizes Lott against tougher restrictions in a new lobbying law that takes effect at the end of the year. That law would require Senators to wait two-years before entering the lucrative world of lobbying Congress.
Like AP and Glenn, I won't miss him.

Good. The more of these big-spending pork-ublicans we get rid of, the sooner we can return to the GOP of smaller government.
I hope Ted Stevens (R-Bridge to Nowhere) is next to go.
