That is fitting.

8. I doubt that a majority of african-american Miss voters...

were for Trent Lott. there were no exit polls I know of publish from that state, but considering Barbour only got 12% of the African-American vote and Bush only got 3% of the African American vote there, I hardly think that Lott would be popular. Lott got 2/3 of Miss., but I harldy think African-Americans voted for him in that proportion.

This link mentions the voting record of African-Americans in Mississippi based on exit polls in 2002 and 2000. It is a conservative source (first link I could find).

5. Minority Whip in fact, which as Stephen Colbert explained

is next in line to Grand Dragon.

Gunning for The Smirk's back.

It's payback time...

7. Yep. Lott has many friends in the Senate.

1) Bush gave him no support during the Strom Situation.

2) Lott has been very critical of the Bush-FEMA response to Mississippi in the wake of Katrina.

9. Lott is sad about Steele losing.
