Another Repub Sen to RESIGN --TRENT LOTT .... reports MSNBC LINK

Soon we won't have Trent Lott to kick around anymore in the US Senate.

MSNBC reports that insiders indicate Trent Lott will announce his resignation from the US Senate, maybe as early as today.

Speculation as to the timing of Lott's resignation is that he is trying to avoid new, tougher ethics rules that take effect Jan 1 which would have imposed a 2 year prohibition on engaging in lucrative lobbying of Capitol Hill on behalf of K Street if he waited to resign.

Yet another Repub seat to be defended in the 2008 Election.
