Connecticut's Joseph Lieberman - chronic whiner on the Senate Subcommittee on Oy Vay. South Carolina's Ernest Hollings - who sounds like a Civil War horse making a farewell address to the cavalry. Hollings may have the Southern inflection, but the horses have the gallantry. Among Senate Republicans, like Pavlov's dogs, fear has become a conditioned reflex. They have paraphrased FDR's axiom.
Republican Senators require a daily ration of abuse.
When Bubba is gone from office they will be obliged to send out for it - like pizza. The Senate is a circus that never leaves town, and the Clintons are the guests that never go home. It's time we threw their coats out on the front lawn and see if they take the hint. If they ever do take a hint, it sure as hell will not be from Trent Lott.
