TRENT LOTT LASHES OUT AT TALK RADIO: Mickey Kaus notes the irony. Lott’s a pretty good indicator of what’s wrong with the GOP at any given moment.

UPDATE: No, really. A year ago, Trent Lott was saying he was “damn tired” of PorkBusters, and now the GOP is all about fighting the pork. Difference? They lost an election by listening to him. Now what will they be saying after the next election? Because if they listen to Lott, a textbook example of what’s wrong with the GOP on Capitol Hill, they’ll lose that one, too.
