Trent Lott, the Mississippi senator with a history of blatant racism, is back in senate leadership today, four years after being kicked out as majority leader:
(senate whip is the 2nd highest senate party position after majority/minority leader).
It seems the new Republican minority is quite destitute, bringing back such an unpopular, vile figure.
