Lott, Part II

As Peter noted yesterday, Trent Lott's ascension to minority whip is befuddling on so many different levels. Even many of the blogosphere's most dependable republican hacks are up in arms over this development. Perhaps the best commentary on the matter, however, comes (via Andrew) from Robert A. George. As he puts it, "there's something painfully ironic about Trent Lott being named 'minority whip.'" Painfully ironic indeed!
