Found via TNR‘s Etc., Trent Lott tells us what he really thinks of helping poor children: “Although almost every Senate Republican voted for the [child tax credit], some clearly were unhappy at having to do so under what they considered public pressure from liberal groups and Democrats. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi voted for the bill, but as he did so he stuck his tongue out, put his finger in his mouth and made a gagging sound, indicating his apparent distaste for the bill.” I wonder if C-SPAN caught this – it’d make for a great campaign ad to show the families of Mississippi.

Republicans: Putting the Compassion in Conservatism Since … Well … Never.
Hey Kevin, if you ever come across that potential photo opp of trent with the finger in his mouth, I will make a poster of it along with the quote above and poster it all over campus. You know my e-mail addy, so it’d be a pleasant surprise if a photo of that sort indeed exists!
