With all that money he saved on meals and being carted around on my dime, he can take my kids to school and feed them lunch for the next 12 years. Afterall, he's making a butt-load of money now.

Wow. Maybe no one would think that Trent Strom Thurmond Lott would actually ride the Metro so they thought it was just a look alike. He rode on the Metro and made it out without being spit on? Wow.

For example, a Rep. who serves three terms in the House (2 years each term), would be allowed a single term in the Senate (6 years) if they were elected to such a seat. This way we get rid of career politicians. The longer they are in office the more problems you end up having with them. Too many end up corrupt. Most have sold their soul to a lobbyist.

I can live with that because we have far more important issues to worry about, and the amount of money we are spending on this insane occupation of Iraq far outweighs the money we spend providing free lunches, health care, and other goodies for the folks in Washington. But what really GALLS me is when they complain about it! Lott wanted to be a well-paid lobbyist so bad that he ditched the rest of his Senate term (thereby ditching the people who voted for him) -- just so he could start his new line of work right away instead of having to wait, as he would have had to do under the new rules he squeaked out of. So Trent, with his new fat paycheck that he wanted so badly now finds that his life isn't as "cushy" as it once was? I've taken the Metro in Washington. It's clean, it's efficient, and it's a great way to get around. There are many places in DC where you can get a very nice lunch for $20 or less. Lott still lives larger than most of us. His kvetching doesn't get any sympathy from here. You know, I am aware that our elected representatives get a lot of perks that we common folk will never see.
