However, I certainly don’t want to be “indicted” simply by being related by marriage to somebody else being indicted.

But we can’t ignore the corrupting influence a brother-in-law can exert on a politician. Everyone knows Bill Clinton was pure as the wind-driven snow before acquiring Hugh Rodham as a brother-in-law.

Time will tell if Lott has any involvement in this or not, but the coincidence of the “out of the blue” announcement to resign just before this pops up the news stinks all the way out to Idaho.

# 17 – LOL – Trent Lott married the other guy’s sister. If the other guy had married Trent’s sister, they wouldn’t have the same last name

Jane Fonda isn’t there any more to use her magic muffin to convince Ted by shaking the bed that all is well.

Now they have to stand on their own two feet like adults and it aint gonna be pretty.

Every thing eventually runs back to the Clinton campaign and now they are going to run around and try to stick their finger in the dyke just to make the water stop.

But hey I know a few of the dyke’s they stuck fingers in and they ain’t happy.

When a member of CONgress is kicked out, resigns, not re-elected, etc., can we require them to return to their home states forever or at least a few years before coming back to the DC area?

Have you ever noticed that very few actually go back to their home districts that they are so proud to have represented? Do you really think Lott is going to go home and live in Mississippi? Yeah, right…

Why go through all the trouble of getting re-elected to the senate for a 6 year term and resign after one?

Good question, but what else would Trent do? Get an honest, private-sector job? If Senate pension rules are what I’d expect them to be, each additional year of service pads the retirement check just a little bit more.

It does smell. Why go through all the trouble of getting re-elected to the senate for a 6 year term and resign after one? Unless it was a health problem, I just can’t understand.

Does anyone know if Trent married Scruggs’ sister or Scruggs married Trent’s sister? Just curious.
