Naturally the jackass is from Texas

I would have sworn it was Robert Byrd.

Or Trent Lott

Now that I think about it though... That would be an improvement... They could do much less damage in the House than they can in the Senate.

Better yet, can we send them all home?

I guess I'll throw a bomb in the room and add that Nathan Bedford Forrest was not actually a bad guy by most accounts. But it's all about symbolism these days, and quoting a KKK guy is not good symbolism

Are you kidding me? I would have though Byrd would have been the guy too (since he WAS in the KKK himself), and I still don't get why he's around...oh yeah...he's one of the KINGS OF PORK!

Scott - Nor is complimenting an old Dixiecrat at his gazillionth birthday party, is it?

Of course, Lott is no stranger to pork, either.
