It’s Trent Lott appreciation day!
In Mississippi today, the Jackson County and Ocean Springs chambers of commerce are holding Trent Lott Appreciation Day in order to “honor” a “favorite son.” In their appreciation of the former GOP senator, ThinkProgress hopes the chambers don’t forget to mention Lott’s own appreciation for Strom Thurmond’s segregationist run for President in 1948 or the graceful manner in which Lott retired last year to avoid being trapped by Senate ethics rules.

Yeah, put him up against a wall for stoning, that would be real appreciation.

February 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pmIt’s not surprising that his state loves him considering the amount of Pork Lott brought in during his tenure.

Wait, they’re secret service, never mind.

February 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pmI appreciate that he is no longer in the Senate destroying this country.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pmHow’s that “rebuilt porch” coming?

February 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pmhow sweet. honor a crook… way to go bassackwards mississippi.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pmSlightly off-topic, but what the heck.
Cute story on NPR this morning wherein the former governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, had a wedding registry set up as going away appreciation after leaving office. Only problem is he’s been married over twenty years.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:09 pmYep, keep those cards, letters and gifts pouring in; we need all we can get.
I’m sure many sausages,franks,wieners,and other phallic shaped foods will be in abundance.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:11 pmI live in Mississippi & I haven’t heard one thing about this.
Just for the record, the non-theocratic aspect of the Mississippi citizenry find Trent Lott to be a monumental embarrassment.
Kissing Thurmond’s Jim Crow butt is only one of the many stupid things Lott has done.
If it weren’t for his political machinery being funded by the wingnuts in Washington, Trent Lott would be a history teacher at the local high school.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:17 pmAnd here I thought it was “take a redneck to work” day there. Oh, same thing.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pmI appreciate that he will die someday.
February 6th, 2008 at 1:23 pmHere’s the registry story about Huckabee (oddly posted on the family website of those who were giving gifts):

February 6th, 2008 at 1:40 pmI’d APPRECIATE if Lott had an arterial OBSTRUCTION!
Upside: They’ll sell his hairpiece to the highest bidder.
Downside: Trent comes with it.
February 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pmDo they have a “Rattlesnake Appreciation Day there too?” At least a rattler provides it’s own anit-venom
