tugmoose Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Just one year into his latest term? That's a little suspect. Not that I would ever spread rumors, but there are murmurs that include the phrase "male escort service." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The theory I heard put forward this morning is that there's currently a one-year waiting period for a former U.S. senator who wants to return to Washington as a lobbyist, but a new law goes into effect on January 1 that makes it a two-year period ... ol' Trent wants to bail before the end of the year so he doesn't have to wait that long to become even more evil than he already is.

Mr. Kinsley Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Whenever I think of Trent Lott I think of a few days after 9/11 how he said something to the effect of, 'This is a terrible tragedy, but if there is one tiny little silver lining in all of it we'll now be able to do some things that we've wanted to do for a very long time.' All this time I thought he meant the Patriot Act and warrantless wiretapping, but he really meant hot man-on-man action. Or, in senate terminology, "wiretapping." But yeah Jorge, I don't really buy it yet either... but it reeeeeally wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 nothing has surfaced yet or hit the headlines in the capital city, so i'm pretty sure it is rather bogus and someone reaching. i think he simply would rather not face 5 more years of no longer being able to whisk his agenda through (or i should say the agenda of the GOP). in the meantime, can we have a little more Estrada in here?

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think I heard the same NPR story as cryptique. He'll be able to come back as a lobbyist more quickly this way. That seems the most logical explanation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 And we all know that lobbyists get all the really hot male escorts. [insert Estrada smiley] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 From Salon.com today: Tell us again why you're retiring, Senator What the headline in the New York Times says: "Lawyer Battling for Katrina Payments Is Indicted." What the first paragraph says: "Richard F. Scruggs, a prominent trial lawyer who has been fighting insurance companies over payments for damage from Hurricane Katrina, was indicted yesterday by federal authorities on charges of offering a bribe of $50,000 to a Mississippi state judge in a dispute over fees with another lawyer." What you'll find if you read all the way down to the eighth paragraph of the story: "Mr. Scruggs, who has negotiated settlements worth more than $100 million this year with State Farm and other insurers, is a brother-in-law of Senator Trent Lott." What you'll find if you read down to the 11th paragraph of the story: "Mr. Scruggs represented Mr. Lott and Representative Gene Taylor, Democrat of Mississippi, in settlements with State Farm after the insurer refused to pay claims for the loss of their homes in Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Lott, who said earlier this week that he was planning to retire from the Senate before his term expires, and Mr. Taylor pushed through federal legislation to investigate the claims handling of State Farm and other insurers after Hurricane Katrina. The investigation is under way." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
