Trent Lott Bats 3 for 4

Trent Lott is now batting at a .750 clip after now going 3 for 4 in the Senate. He started off by supporting the immigration bill and this was the bad mark on his lofty batting average. He came around when he indicated that if they could not get this bill done they should vote to disband Congress and come back after the next election (assuming they won again and could come back). This was a brilliant idea and America would be most grateful. The country is safer the longer Congress is not in session.

Those were his at bats in the immigration debate and then he stepped to the plate in the Senate no confidence vote for Alberto Gonzales, the Attorney General. This was a BS vote to try and force Republicans to show what they feel and to make Gonzales see that he should resign. It is a non binding procedure which is just another big waste of time. Lott voted against it and that was his second hit. His thrid hit came when he said this:

Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said it was inappropriate for the Senate to hold forth on a member of the president’s Cabinet.

“This is a nonbinding, irrelevant resolution proving what? Nothing,” Lott said. “Maybe we should be considering a vote of no confidence on the Senate or on the Congress for malfunction and an inability to produce anything.” Breitbart

I second his motion for a vote of no confidence in the Senate and the Congress as a whole and if I could vote I would vote for it. Lott is a pretty dim bulb most times but he has said a few good things in the past week and whether he knows it or not, he is expressing the feeling of many Americans with regard to Congress.

As an aside, I said during the last election we needed to get rid of Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. He was on the ropes with regard to his views and he promised he would be a wonderful man and so what was right as a Republican. He voted against Gonzales today and he is in favor of the amnesty bill. This just goes to show that he should have been voted out by the people of PA. I knew he would say anything to get reelected and then screw people once he got back in.
