I saw Senator Trent Lott on The Daily Show and heard some of his interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
He sounded so damn reasonable and affable, such a regular guy. But I wasn’t amused. I just thought, “That fucker spent three decades smearing the halls of democracy with shit, and now he writes a book complaining about the smell?”
I had the same reaction, though I couldn’t phrase it quite so poetically!
