CNN Crawl: Trent Lott's house was destroyed in the floods.

[roguevalley]

I don't have a link but will find one.

[barbaraann]

1. I was wondering about that.

...posted about it earlier.

It was a beautiful old house.

[aquart]

5. I hate losing all that irreplaceable architecture.

But Trent Lott homeless? Did he have his wigs with him?

[Tesla]

15. You wouldn't know what the heck those things were floating by.

his wigs HAVE to be scary!!!

[saigon68]

90. I wonder if HIS HISTORIC HOOD AND SHEET were Saved?

You know, the one that STROM THURMAN GAVE HIM.

[Career Prole]

22. No telling what the insurance replacement costs are

for the human-hide lampshades. :puke:

[Hayduke]

91. You're f*d up

I don't agree with his politics, but I met the Senator on several occasions and he is a really nice guy who cares deeply about the people in his state. Attack his politics, attack his remarks at the b-day party but don't insinuate that he is so evil as to have human hide lampshades. It makes you sound as bad as Coulter , Rush or any of that other pond scum on the other side.

[ret5hd]

103. if you think he's a really nice guy who cares deeply...

about the people in his state, you ain't been payin' attention.

[Hayduke]

112. I doubt you're from Mississippi...

or that you have met the Senator. What you call pork has created a lot of jobs for people in south Mississippi which is one of the poorest areas in the country. A man has lost his house and I think we should show a little compassion instead of hate.

[Chi]

132. How many people have lost their homes due to his allegiance to his party?

If he wants to stand with his party, over the well being of his constituents, then he's an Asshole.
If you want to stand next to him over the well being of your fellow citizens... then fill in the rest.

[Carni]

129. Oh I bet he's a swell guy...

But you know what is that phrase the freepers spout?

Oh yeah--*personal responsibility*

Perhaps if Mr Lott Mr Bush and their assorted co-horts had taken global warming a little more seriously Mr lott would not be without his lovely home.

Boo fucking hoo for Mr Lott

[Career Prole]

140. LOL!

Whatever.

[B3Nut]

119. I'm bummed about...

...the classic Hammond organs in a lot of the churches and blues clubs down there that are as good as gone. I hate seeing a good B-3 and Leslie washed away, even though a submerged instrument can be salvaged if immediately attended to when fished out of the water. There was a great story about a B-3 that was used for a boat gig and went overboard at load-out...two days later the owner fished it out and his tech restored it.

Nothing in comparison to loss of life and personal devastation, but is a bummer sidebar for us musicians. Especially when NOLA has a LOT of great blues and jazz musicians, and many of them have now lost their instruments, which is a *devastating* loss to a musician, as your instrument becomes a part of you.

Todd in Beerbratistan

[WhiteTara]

87. do you think this will make him feel compassion

for the people of his district and work to help the most vulnerable and poorest of the poor...or do you think he will use this as an opportunity to line his pockets and enrich his friends? Stay tuned folks, the answer will be coming right after this break.
:popcorn:

[RandomKoolzip]

2. That sucks.

Sure, he's an asshole, but that should never have to happen to anybody.


Oh well...I'm sure he's got a few more all over the country.


BTW, keep on the lookout for the "Trent Lott Loots Winn-Dixie" video sure to pop up allover the internet soon.

[Booster]

4. And he'll find a way to rebuild it with our tax money.

[ShockediSay]

26. Better yet, fundraisers

with lobby lawyers ready to throw money into the best game in town (buying government officials) I'll bet Trent will make a bundle on the deal.

PS Don't look for him to be making any serious donations to the homeless.

[Deja Q]

94. Bingo.

[fishwax]

137. hmm ... his own way of looting

and i have no doubt you're right

[ewagner]

107. Agree

those statements are way, way over the top...

Lott is like every other politician, he brings home the bacon for his district in order to get re-elected. In that sense, he does the best for his people.

I don't like his politics but I don't hate the man.....just don't want him in office where he can do damage to the rest of us....

[alarimer]

3. that's too bad

I can't stand the guy but still. He can probably afford to rebuild, I'm guessing.

[Lars39]

6. "Sure, it's fun(politics) until somebody gets their eye poked out!"

Let these bastards see the real world consequences of their Pinky and the Brain plans. :grr:

54. Bwhahaha! Best comment of the thread!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Arugula Latte]

57. Also, what's he going to do now that his crosses are too water-logged

to burn on front lawns?

[TankLV]

67. Now he has to refill all his Viagra pills!

Poor SOB.

[fujiyama]

89. LOL

:spank:

:rofl:

[calico1]

10. Well I don't care for him either

but I am not glad about seeing anyone lose a home. And if this was one of those old houses (I have never seen it) then its sad because those can't be replaced.

[Ian David]

12. I wish the HOUSE was okay, but that Trent Lott was sitting on the roof

[UpInArms]

19. nice montage, IanDB1

very appropriate to see Nero fiddling while NO floods.

[Ian David]

39. Thanks! And thanks for the heads-up about the cake. New collage below

[FourStarDemocrat]

60. Nice collage, but it needs a title! n/t

[Endangered Specie]

82. A simple one...

"All of these occured on 31 August 2005"

and I hope you dont mind if I send these around to people? :shrug: can think of alot of people who should see that.

[Ian David]

92. No problem! There are others who have made some very good ones, too...

44. While the City Suffered and the People Watched Their Lives being Destroyed

The Coward in Chief was living it up on the west coast, oblivious to it all. What on earth did America ever do to deserve such a worthless piece of shit for a leader? Somebody should put a sign on the front door od the White House that says, "Gone Fishin'. Be Back In Four Years."

[shanti]

71. bad karma, man

bad karma :eyes: :cry:

[Uncle Joe]

139. We allowed the corpwhorate owned MSM to

brainwash the American People in to not thinking anymore. He is the price we pay for media deregulation, allowing the military industrial complex (which former President Eisenhower warned us against) and a hand full of mega corporations to own the press. This oligarchy of corporate prostitutes created a fake world or (Matrix if you will) for the rest of the nation to live in. This Matrix placed supreme importance on trivial things for the people to focus on. At the same time the leaders that took on issues that were vital to the people were ridiculed, demeaned or slandered. One prime example is the "War against Gore beginning about 1998 with the he claimed to have invented the internet lie instead of giving the man credit for his vision in becoming the primary champion of the internet while he was in congress, this of course hurt his credibility. When the corpwhorate MSM did cover the vital issues, they lied or obfuscated the story, the last thing they wanted to do was actually enlighten the American People. The MSM rarely if ever attempted to get the truth out, it was more like he said she said. They used codewords and subliminal language to fool the people. The vital issue of the day, and this was after Osama declared his war against us, was who would rather have in your home for a beer and that is how we ended up with the corrupt/incompetents in power to this day.

[daleo]

50. Another picture that should haunt Bush

Along with the cake eating.

On edit - and the Pet Goat reading.

[chalky]

96. pssst...

do another edit and add, "and plastic Thanksgiving turkey holding."

[Eurobabe]

59. Kinda reminds me of this...

[AuntiBush]

75. Photos Tell the Whole Truth, and Nothing But!

There you go, trolls. You're "MORALS," and "VALUES," strumming along while one of his historic cities is under tons of water and millions of his citizens without - period!

Imagine if this was a terra-attack. Guess he'd be dancing the Gig!
*sarcasm* definitely off!

[Chicago1]

13. I'm glad he's without housing

He's a MISERABLE person and he justly deserves it. I've ALWAYS hated him.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

31. you should really drop the hatred

it'll burn you up

[TankLV]

68. It's entirely justified. Keep it up front and strong.

Use it to get rid of the repuke scum!

Never give up. Never lose that anger.

The trouble with amerikkka is that not ENOUGH people are ANGRY!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

79. Lots of people use hatred as a prime motivator....

...and based on what the NeoCons have done to the U. S., the flame I carry will never burn out.

[shanti]

72. oh, he'll always have housing

he probably owns a few more.

[I concur]

106. I'm new to DU but don't like what I'm reading...

...SHEEZECH, glee over a fellow American losing his home (and all its valuables). There is an old Chinese proverb applicable here: "When one sets out to bury an enemy in hatred take two shovels--one for the enemy and one to dig one's own grave."

[Marymarg]

14. So sorry

that I am not at all sorry for his loss.

I am also sorry--that it has come to this point with me--that I am now so hardened by the hatred and bitterness in this country--that I can have no sympathy for a fellow sojourner who has lost his home.

Pathetic.

[drduffy]

46. strong emotions

move to action. That is not bad at this point. The time for tolerance of the right, for compromise, for consession is over.

[sonicx]

16. well..

that sucks, but he won't suffer like many others.

[sonicx]

17. link

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/30/katrina.lott/

[chalky]

97. I was wavering on this, thinking this historic house may have been

in his family for generations. That he has memories of growing up in this house and memories of past family members in this house....

"Lott had owned the house, where his children grew up, for at least 20 years, Irby said."

Hell, I have t-shirts that I've owned longer than he's owned that home.

[LetsGoMurphys]

109. I dont think so...

if that is such a nice house then thats probaly not the case because Trent Lott grew up poor with an alcoholic father.

[Desperadoe]

18. Trent Lott's house was destroyed

and it was the biggest and prettiest double-wide on the block too.

[Oreegone]

20. You don't really think?

That this is the only house he owns?

[Borgnine]

23. Well, I wish him the best then.

I can't stand the man, but it's a shame that this has to happen to anybody, even if it is one of many houses.

[I concur]

126. Thank you.

You're are a voice of the REAL Democratic party (amid the majority of DINOs on this thread who gleefully cheer someone's personal tragedy).

[I concur]

128. Thank you.

[iamjoy]

24. No Pity, No Satisfaction

He is one of tens (or hundreds?) of thousands.

He is in a better position than most to rebuild. He will not be homeless or living in a tent or trailer, as many people are, waiting years for rebuilding. Because of who he is, rebuilding his home will be a priority while others make do and wait months or years to have a home again.

But, it has to be hard psychologically to lose a home, and he is not so evil that I would rejoice at something bad happening to him, except maybe, getting removed from office :P

[anitar1]

27. They have a home in Jackson, n/t

[Zhade]

25. That poor house!

That is all.

[Zomby Woof]

28. Why should we care, CNN?

Fuck Lott. I am MUCH more concerned about the ordinary people who lost their homes. Not the home of a wealthy white supremacist who I am sure has comfortable digs in Washington DC.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. I hope this awakens compassion in him.

I'm sorry for his loss.

[peacefreak]

30. I am sorry for his loss.

May it help him find compassion for those less fortunate than he.

[masshole]

32. He could move into

the "well-built" government housing the freeps were complaining about. I mean he wants his family to be safe, doesn't he?

[littleraf]

49. I LOVE Your Observation masshole

The right loves to talk about how the people in public housing are living it up. Another thread quoted some Freehole who lamented that the flooding hadn't wiped out the poor (i.e. black) sections of town saying "we built the government housing too strong." Wonder if they'll still be making smart-ass remarks when they realize how many whites like Trent Lott will be homeless when this is over.
BTW, wouldn't it be great to see a man with a reputation for racial-tolerance like Trent Lott forced to live in public housing? I'm sure his new neighbors would simply ADORE him. In a just world this would happen...

[David Zephyr]

33. Didn't His Friend Pat Robertson Pray for Him?

n/t

[Thor_MN]

34. Are we sure that the house wasn't despondant?

If I had to house that POS, I'd consider ending it all....

[Mz Pip]

35. "People lose things"

That would probably be Rush's comment if it were Clinton's house.

Still I don't wish that kind of loss and devastation on anyone, even good ol boy Trent.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[malachibk]

36. My friend and I just did a little dance!

I know, I know, that's horrible, but he's just SUCH a racist asshole...

[MissMarple]

37. That's too bad, it was a great old house.

[arkie dem]

38. Did his hair survive Katrina?

[tonekat]

41. Did he lose his fabulous art collection?

All those paintings of dogs playing poker and wide eyed children (Keane). Such a loss to the ages.

[DURHAM D]

43. Haven't thought about those big-eyed kids for 35 years.

I wonder if he has updated his collection with Blue Dogs and Red Cats.

[Robeson]

56. Don't forget, he also lost all those Thomas Kinkade prints.

[MADem]

42. Ignoring the remarks, this could be a PLUS in terms of weakening chimp

Trent Lott has no damn love for the chimp, who tossed him to the curb in favor of the more malleable Frist...see, Trent HAD power, and he did not always agree with chimpy. Chimpy used the Strom thing to dump the sometimes intractable Lott in favor of wussie Frist--everyone KNOWS this.

Chimpy could have left Trent where he was, that Strom business would have blown over--remember, Trent went on BET, and that took balls, and apologized.

Trent has enough clout on the Hill that he kept his extra large office, his mega sized staff, AND his car and driver, as a "LEADER (edit) emeritus" of sorts. That is MOST unusual.

Trent has backdoor brokered a ton of deals where Fristy jus' wussint gittin' it done. He still has FRIENDS. He can still make things happen, and fuck stuff up.

Trent holds GRUDGES.

Now, if people on the Hill decide to start carping about FEMA, preparedness, funding cuts, and so forth, and Trent comes out strong on these issues--and odds are, he will, because remember, not just himself, but his constituency took a MAJOR beating--he could really paint the chimp as an asshole if he so chose. And like I said, he holds grudges....

This could be good....

[gort]

73. now they finally know that Bush is a damn yankee

from New Haven,Connecticut and not from a phony phony ranch in Texas.
The charade is finally over.


The most incredible thing is that a Senator had to ask the POTUS to come to his state.

BUSH HAS JUST LOST THE SOUTH

[MADem]

116. I think Trent has been biding his time, waiting for an opportunity

...and this situation is tailor-made for some serious revenge.

Trent has a mean streak, and he doesn't forget slights or injuries. And he still has backdoor clout.

[hadrons]

45. BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MadisonProgressive]

136. Hey, that was (snicker) uncalled for! (snicker)

[knight_of_the_star]

47. Some good news at least

If you could call it that anyway. Cosmic justice if you will.

[littleraf]

48. Trent Shouldn't Expect Any Help From Bush

Trent recently wrote an autobiography in which he criticized Bush for abandoning him and leaving him swinging in the wind, after his faux pas praising old honest Strom. Bush doesn't take criticism lightly. And as John McCain found out in 2000 Shrubya will attack Rethugs just as viciously as Democrats if they cross him. If I were Trent I wouldn't expect any help from Washington anytime soon. Mississippi has been abandoned just like New Orleans.

[chomskysright]

133. Nor any help from the Blackhawk helicopter re: sandbags THAT NEVER CAME

Nagin said the sandbagging was scheduled for midday, but the Blackhawk helicopters needed to help did not show up. He said the sandbags were ready and all the helicopter had to do was "show up." He said after his afternoon helicopter tour of the city, he was assured that officials had a plan and a timeline to drop the sandbags on the levee breach.

He said he was told that the helicopters may have been diverted to rescue about 1,000 people in a church, but he is still not sure who gave the order

http://www.wdsu.com/weather/4917809/detail.html

[salin]

51. Perhaps this hitting home for a major senator will make

more folks in DC take seriously both the need for aid for recovery for ALL who have lost homes - and to take more seriously the need for $ (that is - NOT CUTS TO FUND TAX CUTS) in emergency preperation and response for such disasters.

[Zomby Woof]

121. This is Lott we're talking about here

The chance at this giving his humanity a kick in the ass is NIL.

[raysr]

52. Gee, now that's really

too fucking bad isn't it?

[mandomom]

53. Is god angry?

[chomskysright]

134. 'Why do you hate freedom'?

[mindfulNJ]

55. It's always sad when someone loses their home.

No matter who they are.

[mitchum]

58. But doesn't he have another residence in DC?

Isn't that one of the justifications for Congress constantly voting themselves pay raises? The "necessity" of maintaining two homes?

[roughandtumble]

61. "Herding Cats" or "Looking for the next slush fund to rebuild my house"?

[kodi]

62. God's Will and Punishment. Who can deny it?

oh, I forgot, its Trent LOTT, and we know what God did to LOT.

[bearfan454]

63. bush to Lott:

You know old boy we had to cut programs to help my rich buddies on the tax break. Sorry there's no money to rebuild your house. Take one for the team will ya ?

[allalone]

64. dare I say it?

we don't care

[TankLV]

65. I could careless. This is actually good news.

Maybe now he will experience some of the suffering he's inflicted on millions of others.

Why should I care?

Kharma is a bitch, isn't it?!!!

[I concur]

123. Let me ask you something...

...how would you feel if you saw some Freeper gleefully cheering the misery of one of our senator's homes?

[AlCzervik]

66. Who knows, this may change him for the better---

i know, i know i'm sure he'll still be the same but sometimes a traumatic experience can change a person.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

93. Except he's certainly got at least one other house.

And plenty of money elsewhere...unlike those who've lost everything in this disaster.

[sakabatou]

69. Dear Lott

I have no pity.

:nopity::nopity::nopity::nopity::nopity::nopity:

[I concur]

124. Question:

...how would you feel if you saw some Freeper gleefully cheering the one of our senator's misery? This forum of folks (who jump up and down about Lott's tragedy) is doing nothing but adding fodder to the Limbaughs and Hannity who preach that all Democrats are full of hate and this thread is proving them accurate!

[leesa]

70. God works in mysterious ways.

[Neshanic]

74. Gulf now has scary "Hairy Jellyfish". Various hair styles unexplained.

130. I am sorry BUT

LMAO! LMAO!

[Benhurst]

76. Trent's house is gone, but birds will make

nests from his wigs washed downstream. Life goes on.

[Up2Late]

77. It was reported today that 90% of the houses near the beach in Pascagoula

are completely GONE! And the other 10% are still there, but almost a total loss.

I with I could say I feel sorry for the guy, but I just can't.

[SoCalDem]

78. I read once that he could sit on his porch and watch

the boondoggle ships he pushed for , being built.. he was close to the water..

I feel badly for ANYONE who lost their homes.. Just think of all the family memorabilia we all have.. pictures of long departed family members, stuff from our childhoods.. It's sad to lose that stuff..even for people we don;t like :(

[Media_Lies_Daily]

80. If I thought he was human I'd feel sorry for him.

[MissMarple]

81. Oh, sweetheart, I think we both know he is all too human.

And, yes, I feel sorry for his loss. Perhaps now is a time for him to make up for his ...missteps, his most grievous missteps.

[Scurrilous]

83. Team: Favre learns family home destroyed in Mississippi

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-packers-favre-hurricane&prov=ap&type=lgns

<snip>

"Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre spent most of the last two days nervously waiting to hear from family members in his hometown of Kiln, Miss., in the heart of the Gulf Coast area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

The Packers said Favre finally spoke to his mother, Bonita, late Tuesday afternoon when she was able to reach him with the help of a Houston television station in the area covering hurricane damage.

According to the team, Favre said his mother reported spending Monday night in the family attic, along with his grandmother, after the house filled up with water within a matter of 5-10 minutes, much like a tsunami.

On Tuesday, the water receded enough that she was able to leave the family home and go to his brother Jeff's nearby house, which is slightly higher and away from the water."

<snip>

"She indicated the family home is destroyed and probably will have to be bulldozed, but the good news is that everyone in the family appears to be fine."

[mattclearing]

98. Let's hope he was on vacation.

I have my problems with Trent Lott's politics, but I will credit him for putting an end to the Impeachment madness during the Clinton administration rather than putting the country through a pointless and stupid Senate trial.

I'd hate to see DU turn as ugly as that other site. Let's agree that Trent Lott sucks, but we don't wish him any harm, okay?

[QC]

99. "I'd hate to see DU turn as ugly as that other site."

Me too, but I'm afraid it's too late to worry about that. GD has been a real cesspool these past few days.

[mattclearing]

101. People are clearly under a great deal of stress.

I'm hoping it's not a permanent thing.

When I couldn't get on to DU today I snuck a peek at FR to see if they were gloating about the site being down, and while I didn't find that, I did find some totally irrational and ugly posts about LA's governor and Mary Landrieu.

They are truly horrible people over there. I don't want to see us like that.

[QC]

102. We have people here who could teach the freepers how to hate.

And tragedy brings out the worst in some people. This place is even uglier now than during the primaries. I never imagined I would see anyone, here or elsewhere, defending a mob trying to storm a children's hospital, but there you have it.

[mattclearing]

104. I missed all of that, thankfully.

Hopefully I won't stumble onto it now. Ugh.

[chomskysright]

135. Yes, but the repression that lefties have borne under is TOO MUCH@times

...let your anger take you to the place where you will do something, say something.

[snooper2]

117. Blah blah blah, face it, he is an evil bastard....

He should have been in it....

[arwalden]

100. Pity.

[MadeinOhio]

105. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Though to his credit, Senator Trent Lott was finally seeing the light and admitting the Iraq war was all some hyped up lie.....Too bad it cost him his house.

:scared:

[LetsGoMurphys]

110. what the hell does that mean?

how did it cost him his house? thats about as loose as the Iraq 9/11 connection. Think before you type. Some of you are making me physically ill.

[LetsGoMurphys]

108. Ide expect this type of reaction from the other side

but it seems there is no shame in what anyone here says anymore either. Sad.

[Neshanic]

111. I have no sympathy for him or his situation. He needs to call Pat..

and Pat can pray over his slab, and bless it for reconstruction.

No problem for him. With his connections, it's just a minor inconvenience. He can cozy up to a number of "pals" to "help" rebuild.

[insane_cratic_gal]

113. Maybe the insurance company

will deny him or go bankrupt, which I am sure is about to happen once the claims start coming in.

[northzax]

114. that's the thing about hurricanes like Katrina

or earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, avalanches, etc. They have no regard for income, class, education or anything else. End of the day, we're all ants to the weather.

Senator, I am sorry for your loss, and the losses of your state. And just remember, as I saw someone interviewed on FOX last night, guy standing on the front steps, which was all that was left of his house, playing his guitar, "lost everything, but compared to many people, I'm lucky, I'm healthy and whole, this is just stuff. and I got my guitar."

[leftchick]

115. It was an Oceanfront Mansion

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Trent Lott's oceanfront house in Pascagoula, Mississippi, was among the thousands of homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, according to the senator's spokeswoman.

"He's been told there's nothing left" of the 154-year-old house, said Susan Irby, a spokeswoman for the Republican senator. "They plan to go out to see if they can recover any valuables."

... They are staying in their other home in Jackson. It sucks being rich doesn't it trent?

[shantipriya]

118. Lott 's mansion

I am sorry to say this but he deserves whatever Katrina did to him.

[superconnected]

120. Gee. God wiped his home out.

Someone should point that out to him.

[Arugula Latte]

125. No, no, no. That only happens to lib'ruls.

See, when bad things happen to conservatives it's not their fault. But every bad thing that happens to blue people is definitely God's wrath. Got it now?

[Carni]

127. But more importantly...Did Trent's hair move out of place during Katrina?

I have little sympathy for Mr Lott as I am sure he is heavily insured and will not end up homeless or living in the Astrodome.

[LeftyMom]

131. How awful for him

He's an ass, but I wouldn't wish losing a home on anyone. :(
