Lott still in hot water with base

Think conservatives were happy to see former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., rise again this week, winning enough Senate Republican votes to become minority whip? Quotes rounded up by the Kansas City Star suggest otherwise.
Charles Bird (Redstate.com) called it “a bad beginning” and Lott “one of the biggest pigs in the federal trough.” Mary K. Ham (Townhall.com) wrote, “You Guys Are Killin’ Me, Part 87,458.” Michelle Malkin (michellemalkin.com) said, “Another GOP Maalox moment.” And Andrew Stuttaford (National Review Online) concluded: “Thanks a Lott.”
