I don't know what to make of this article from NewsMax.com. If it's true, then Trent Lott does not deserve to become the Senate majority leader. There was no reason to make a deal with Tom Daschle about committees and chairmen. If the Republicans won the Senate, as they did, they deserve to control the Senate as rapidly as the Democrats did the day after the Jeffords defection. If the Republicans didn't win, well what did Daschle that he could be trusted to deliver? This is one thing that has disappointed me in Trent Lott's Republican leadership. When he's on top, he sells out and compromises. He trusts untrustworthy opponents. It's time for new Republican leadership in the Senate.
