Lott eyes a comeback
Sen. Trent Lott is considering a return to the GOP leadership — the culmination of a multiyear effort to rehabilitate his image after being forced to resign his post as majority leader.

Lott has set his sights on the job of party whip — the No. 2 job in the GOP leadership — a position expected to be won without opposition by GOP Conference Chairman Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) if Santorum wins reelection.

6. Just what the GOP leadership needs: a has-been segregationist
Yep -- that sends just the right message to all the minorities the GOP is trying to bamboozle.

I say we encourage Trent in his comeback. He's a great poster boy for the party of George Lincoln Rockwell.
