More blood in the water!!

No matter whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent or a political cynic like me, you have to love this. Right on the heels of Sanctimonious Super Sunday II in Tennessee where Dr. James “It's Not Really A Comb Over” Dobson compared Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s position on embryonic stem cell research to Nazi death camp experiments we have yet another brewing brou-ha-ha. Trent Lott is pissed at Bill Frist because he feels Frist sold him down the river out of ambition to become Senate Majority Leader. Hey, it could even be a new bumper sticker: “Honk if you’re pissed at Frist!” It’s worth printing it just for the onomatopoeia.

The old joke was that the difference between the United States Congress and the Cub Scouts was that the Cub Scouts have adult supervision. Here’s another: What’s the difference between Congress and a 7th grade lunch room? The 7th graders get a fruit cup! Ba-dump-bump.

Call  me nuts but I’m seeing the Gipper looking down from up yonder saying “Hey you kids! Don’t make me pull this car over!”

Of course Senator Lott feels used and abused here. Colin Powell didn’t love him anymore and the President spoke sharply about him. He even got dissed by an Independent, Senator Jeffords of Vermont and tossed a couple of political stink bombs towards the Green Mountain State by complaining that Jeffords was constantly trying to get programs approved that would benefit the state of Vermont. Man, if he's racked up about Jeffords, wait until he gets started on the Senators from West Virginia and Alaska.

Senator, get over it! Nobody was holding a gun to your head to make you talk like a racist at Senator Thurmond’s picnic. You could probably have congratulated him for his work with the NAACP and he wouldn’t have known the difference; he might not have even known you were there…or that he was there for that matter.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it….
