1. from the above link
In book due out next week, Lott says he was betrayed by Frist

Blames media for loss of Senate leadership

By ANA RADELAT
and MIKE MADDEN
Tennessean Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Sen. Trent Lott accuses Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of betraying him during a GOP revolt in a new, tell-all biography that expresses little remorse for the racially tinged remarks that led to Lott's loss of power and Frist's ascension.

In Herding Cats: A Life in Politics, available in bookstores Aug. 23, the Mississippi Republican blames the media and a handful of his GOP colleagues for the loss of his Senate leadership job in December 2002.

3. Lott vs. Frist is like Tupac vs. Biggie Smalls...
...except that I actually cared about Tupac and Biggie.

Have at it Senators...

4. Damn the word traitorous is in the air alot these days.
This is the end of the beginning. The elephant is rotting from within.

"Frist, a Tennessee Republican who replaced Lott as the GOP leader, comes off as traitorous. The book generally divides other Republicans into either heroes or villains, depending on whether Lott saw them as allies or enemies during his downfall.

"I consider Frist's power grab a personal betrayal," the book says. "When he entered the Senate in 1995, I had taken him under my wing. ... He was my protege and I helped him get plum assignments and committee positions."

5. Lott may be a serious racist but he's also an accomplished politician...
... who understood how Washington worked.

Not like the Bush-bots (Frist and Hastert) who are simply good at taking orders; and Rove and Delay, who prove we aren't all descended from the apes -- some humans (sic) are more from the weasal lineage.
