In no particular order (thereby breaking the unwritten rule of top-ten lists):

Way to put self before party, dude!

During the first year — while he’s waiting till he can start the meter running — Trent Clott will be negotiating with dictionaries of repute around the globe for how much they must pay him to use his name or photograph to illustrate the definition of “shameless unprincipled politician”. (Serving him right, he will be undercut by the agents of George Bush, and by Prick Cheney personally, who doesn’t trust anyone enough to hire an agent.)

The Republican party expects every man — especially racist sons-of-bitches in leadership positions — to cut and run when the tantalizing smells from the gravy train become overpoweringly strong.

Some Republicans get undone by sex; but any Republican can get undone by money.

That clinking clanking sound/ Can make the world go ’round./ Money money money money money money

Proving once again that in the Republican party, no matter how much everyone kisses Bush’s ass, there ain’t no “team” in “I”.

The honorable thing to do — after doing the dishonorable thing that he did — would have been to at least lie and deny that an unseemly haste to begin lobbying was the reason he cut and ran; couldn’t even get that right.

Funny how it’s an open secret why Trent Clit resigned now, but nobody still knows why Buttercheeks resigned when he did, or when LaCondi will resign.

Can’t Georgie be inspired by similar visions of “The king was in his counting house/Counting out his money”? Or if his motivations run more to “The maid was in the parlor”, I’m sure a collection plate can very quickly be passed around to assure a constant supply of 72 maids in the back parlor.

Who will the Republican party settle on for Lott’s replacement as Senate Minority Whip—an overt racist or a covert racist?

Isn’t it funny how President Bush distanced himself from Lott’s infamous remarks about the unashamedly segregationist Strom Thurmond of 1948 by telling an audience the comments “do not reflect the spirit of our country”, instead of disavowing that they represented the spirit of the Republican party today?

How could Lott ever have said, of Mississippi’s support of Thurmond in 1948, “If the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years either” if “Nothing could be further from the truth” than “the impression that I embraced the discarded policies of the past”?

Remember when Lott “apologized on Black Entertainment Television and promised to use his position to help push through initiatives that would benefit minorities”? How can the lying bastard leave now without ever having lifted a finger to deliver on that solemn promise?

How could even the Republican party in the time of Bush have voted Lott back to a leadership position in 2006? Will Larry “Wide Stance” Craig now be rehabilitated and resurrected to take over from Lott? Or how about that highly regarded Senator from Alaska, Ted “Remodelling” Stevens?

Ending on a surrealistic note, how could even Bush certify Lott to be a leader who remained “true to his principles”?

(Okay, so I’m reduced to a state of countlessness by Lott; so what?)
