I've got no specific like or dislike for Lott. But, I did think he got screwed four years ago. It wasn't surprising that Jesse Jackson would spin Lott's comments about Strom Thurmond in a way Lott had't intemded. But, I've read that Bill Frist really manipulated the situation behind the scenese in order to allow him to ascend to Senate leadership. That struck me as a bit back-stabbing.

Besides, comebacks are fun cheer for. Go Trent.
