Friday, August 19, 2005 Sen Trent Lott: Frist Screwed Me Over Sen Trent Lott (R-Miss) has characterized Bill Frist as a back stabbing SOB who betrayed him in order to grab the Majority Leader position in 2002. The book, "Herding Cats: A Life in Politics," is due out on August 23rd. Yahoo: Former Sen Majority Leader Lott blames his fall from power in '02 on a "personal betrayal" by an ambitious Frist, and Lott's final fall from power was triggered when he said at Sen Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday that the country "wouldn't have had all these problems over the yrs" if it had elected Thurmond president in 1948. Yeah Lott, these damn minorities and women getting uppity and demanding equality is so problematic, huh? And if he's pissed that his fellow GOPers betrayed him he shouldn't be shocked: When you lie down w/dogs you get fleas. |
