Life’s busy for Lott
Former senator still a force in Washington
By MICHAEL NEWSOM - [e-mail]


Sometimes when he’s waiting in an airport on one of his many business trips, former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott has odd encounters with low-talking well-wishers who don’t realize he no longer holds public office.

“They’ll come over and they whisper, ‘Is Washington going to do all this stuff?,’” Lott said with a laugh. “A lot of them come up to me and say ‘Thank you for your service and thank you for your good work.’ They don’t know I’m retired.”

1. Not surprised.

His replacement, Roger Wicker, hasn't exactly made a name for himself. Hopefully he won't. Maybe he'll sit up there, vote RW, and STFU, just like Thad Cochran does. It would be twice as painful to have two like Sessions and Shelby representing us.

representing me.
