Sen. Trent Lott Picked as New Senate Minority Whip

Posted by on 11/15/2006

Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott has won the election to become the Republican party’s minority whip in the Senate, FOX News has confirmed.

Lott, ousted as Republican leader in the Senate two years ago because of a remark considered racially insensitive expressed during a tribute at Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party, won the election Wednesday to the party’s No. 2 leadership post by a single vote.

Allahpundit says: Suspect on racial issues and pork-friendly. Just the right man to help remake the party. Between this and Mel Martinez, we’re really on a roll.
