A Whole Lott-a Shakin' Goin' On
Sources report that Senator Rick Santorum (R, Pennsylvania) will call a meeting of the 51 Republican Senators on January 6th to discuss the future of Trent Lott as Majority Leader. With the White House refusing to back him up now, the scuttlebutt is that he's gone. It's just a matter of when.
Apparently the GOP woke up and figured out he was a real liability. He was always a liability, being an ineffectual Majority Leader at best. However being ineffectual is apparently not reason enough to oust somebody from a position of power. Well, why should the government be any different from the private sector.
