Classic Trent Lott on TPM TV

Josh Marshall from TPM TV does a great trip down memory lane with Trent Lott, and it was the first time that a blogger caught a misstep on a major politican that led to the beginning of his demise.

The event I remember clearly as I saw it on C-SPAN that evening. My DH and I shook our heads in disbelief. But the MSM didn't say a word about it. It took a blogger like Marshall to point it out and get the attention of the MSM.

In case you hadn't heard, Lott is resigning his position to work on the more lucrative K street before the new law that increases the embargo time between when someone elected to Congress can turn around and become a lobbyist.
