Trent Lott = Pogo

“We can not remain silent. We have met the enemy, and it is us.”

Thus saideth Trent Lott, letting the air out of an investigation Dennis Hastert and Bill Frist were threatening to have over who leaked the information to the Washington Post that — um — we have Gulags in former Soviet nations… for the information was passed around in a Republican Conference meeting (from Vice President Dick Cheney’s mouth) just before the Washington Post article was published.


The questions we have before us… what is the name of that Republican Senator (or Republican staff member) has a conscience to leak that to the press? And just how much does Trent Lott want to screw with the Republican Leadership that threw him overboard when he embraced Strom Thurmond’s 1948 presidential campaign? And what is the implication of changing the word “he” to the word “it”?
