Council Of Trent

As he left the White House on Tuesday, Trent Lott threw some gorilla dust at Bill Clinton. (Ross Perot's term for one alpha male trying to out-swagger another.)

Of course, we expect less from our alpha males here. This is, after all, a city where Larry King, John McLaughlin and Alan Greenspan are the major stud muffins. So what if Mr. Lott puts on a peppermint-striped vest and sings the poppa-oom-poppa-mow-mow chorus of ''Elvira'' in a barbershop quartet called the ''Singing Senators''? Or if he attended a motorcycle rally at the San Diego Convention wearing a fake ponytail attached to his helmet?

So what if the onetime Ole Miss cheerleader is a touch prissy, re-ironing his shirts and reportedly forcing people to walk between the white lines in the Capitol Plaza?

Leader of the Pack

Of all the delegates, none arrived making a louder statement than Senator Trent Lott, who made his Harley-Davidson motorcycle growl and bark as he led a vanguard of hundreds of bikers cresting down from the freeway upon the convention scene. The police cleared their path and wrote not one ticket for the many helmetless bikers riding imperiously beyond the law.

Far from the Brando-esque sociopathy of The Wild One, the bikers were solid middle-class Republicans proferring PAC money and fealty to the ticket for all the throbbing pistons, flowing beards and overhanging bellies.

''We're the party of harmony -- all the way from the bikers to the corporate world of America,'' said Senator Lott, a conventioneer who thoughtfully stroked the gray pony-tail stapled to his bad-looking helmet.

Prominent GOP leaders -- including Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R- Texas) and Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell -- hopped on motorcycles in a staged, pre-convention event and road several miles together to the San Diego Convention Center.

Most lawmakers were decked out in jeans, Harley vests and cowboy boots as they sped away on large bikes, including a specially designed Harley Davidson commemorating this year's Republican National Convention.

The group looked as if they were rebels with a cause.

A defiant Sen. Lott stared from his bike, a ponytail wig flapping from his helmet. Just before riding off, he accused Democrats of coming to San Diego to meddle in Republicans' business.
