I have a very difficult time believing that his (Trent) comments at Strom's bday party are the real reason he's gone. I personally feel that those remarks are the excuse, but the real reason is that when the Republicans first took control of the Senate (while Jeffords was still a Republican) the rest of the Republicans in the Senate didn't like the accomodations the Trent gave the Democrats. When Jeffords switched parties and Puff and company took over, Puff made no counter-accomodations and ruled with an iron hand, obstructing everything. Now with the Republicans getting ready to take control again, I don't think the Republicans were willing to chance Trent giving away the farm again. So when the Demos came up with this bogus hoopla, the Republicans merely hopped on the train and used this as the excuse to get rid of Trent without exposing the true motives.

One man's opinion.

I'd have to agree with Nox. Trent was dumped for political reasons, not because of his supposed "racism." They fact of the matter is, the GOP can come up with better leaders than Trent - ones who know the difference between compromise and servile cock-sucking. His comment provided a convenient cover, though, both dismissing an ineffective leader and showing that they "really do care about fixing our race problems" in one fell swoop. I'm not a Republican, but I must say, jolly good show.

I won't miss the Trentster, but wasn't all this being pushed by Dubya's aide? I heard he didn't like Trent and when the fire started smoking, he threw on some gas.

I just love back stabbing politics.

Me too.

What I really want to know is the real story behind Dicky Gebhart.

Shitty election, and some poor dumb bitch had to take the fall. Obviously Daschle couldn't take the fall, because he's supposed to be the steadfast defender of American Liberty against the eeeeeeeevil Republicans (*suppressed snicker*). So instead Dick goes down, under the pretenses of preparing for his (utterly doomed) presidential campaign. That's my opinion, but before you judge me, try to keep in mind the fact that I've been drinking whiskey while writing this.
