(Trent) Lott to offer inside account with planned tell-all book
<snip>

WASHINGTON — Sen. Trent Lott says he'll sign a deal with an unidentified publisher this week to pen his memoirs.

The Mississippi Republican says he plans to tell all about the 1994 Republican revolution, initiated when voters gave control of the House and Senate to the GOP. Lott also plans to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at former President Clinton's impeachment and Lott's loss of his leadership job. Lott was ousted as Senate Republican leader last year after he made racially insensitive remarks at a party for then-Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party.

"I can't really say anything more about it until the publishing company puts out a press release," Lott said. "It's going to be about 30 years in Congress and 20 years in leadership, what I saw."

Lott did not reveal how much the publishing company would pay him.

1. Always thought fiction would be his best career move
...it isn't exactly in his interest to say something that might resemble truth...

3. But Trent's a man w/ an axe to grind...
...since he was abandoned by the Repugs after the Thurmond birthday remarks (rightfully so, but they didn't even try to save his butt). I wouldn't be surprised if we get an unflattering glimpse of what really happened behind the scenes of the impeachment.

5. Axe? As in Dumbo's "axes of evil"?
They might have dumped him at an opportune moment, but joining the republican party means a gagging order for life.

8. "Confessions of a racist hairhelmetted failed male cheerleader"
Yes a must read indeed.

Maybe he will tell us what he saw "behind the scenes" of the CCC.
