In which Trent Lott brings his lunch for Ted Kennedy

June 7, 2007 Posted by Scott at 6:04 PM

Hugh Hewitt has posted Senator Lott's hilarious oration in support of the immigration bill cramdown. It's unbelievable, but you gotta believe -- once you listen to the audio clip Hugh has posted with the transcript.

Senator Lott is a little lacking in self-awareness, however, when he begins a sentence, "When it comes to legislating, when you are dealing with Senator Kennedy you had better bring your lunch...," and lets his listeners complete it for him: "...because he's going to eat your lunch." Instead, Senator Lott completed it for himself: "...because you are going to get educated, you are going to learn a lot, and you are going to get a result." On the other hand, perhaps Senator Lott has blundered into the truth.

JOHN adds: So Trent Lott looks to Ted Kennedy for intellectual guidance? My God. The Senate Republicans are even more pathetic than we'd realized.
