Republicans have a Lott to worry about

So, events are becoming very interesting in our nation’s capitol…again….still. Here's Senator Bill Frist busily composing yet another indignant response to perceived Democrat perfidy. Frist is in a snit this time because of the leak to the Washington Post about the purported use of "black site" torture prisons in Europe and elsewhere by the CIA for "special" interrogation procedures. Senator Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert, two very upstanding representatives of our government, were in the midst of composing a letter of complaint hinting at Democrat dirty tricks and calling, from atop their high horse, for an investigation into the leaks, when Senator Trent Lott stepped on their line and blabbed that the leak probably came from a Republican senator.

Drat!

The boys had to beat a hasty retreat to the strategy room to plan their next move. They eventually did send the letter calling for an investigation, but their rhetoric was ratcheted down considerably and the whole stunt came off as a rather embarrassing flop.

The word “botched” comes to mind……..
