Sen. Lott Complains About Frist, Bush Bringing Him Down

Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) says in his new book, "Herding Cats, A Life in Politics," that Sen. Bill Frist, Sen. George Allen and President Bush all helped play a role in Lott's losing his Majority Leader position.

Senator Lott has only one person to blame for his fall from grace: himself. Although I like Sen. Lott a lot (no pun intended), he was the person who resigned rather than fight. He stepped down rather than point out the blatant hypocrisy from people on the Left who had done things far worse than make a few comments about a fellow senator (hint: one Senator from WV was actually in the KKK).

Lott could have stayed to fight, but instead he tried to do something no Democrat would ever do: resign his position. It's his own fault.
