Photo Credit: Gerald Martineau - The Washington PostYES YES YES!!!! I'd been commenting yesterday around the blogosphere on various posts about Old Trent Lott's sudden resignation, saying things like "Oh, please, let there be a toetapping bathroom scandal!" But this is possibly even BETTER. Thanks to Jess Wundrun, who linked to Mock, Paper, Scissors, who linked to Larry Flint, who linked to PageOneQ! (yes, my clicking finger is tired)
Now, I don't want to go counting my chickens before they dance at the Chicken Ranch, but even the possibility of Trent's being in the Toe-Tapping ClubTM makes me shiver with delight!
So let's review the present status of the Singing Senators, L-R:
1. Trent "The Throat" Lott: possibly purchased the services of male escort--juicy details to surface quickly, I'm sure!
2. Larry "Wide Stance" Craig: still in denial, but the truth is out there. Note the way he's eyeing his microphone.
3. John "Let the Eagle Soar" Ashcroft: harassed by Gonzo to approved illegal govt spying while in his hospital bed. No toe-tapping (that we know of).
4. Jim Jeffords: party-switcher from repub to independent. Who knows?
Yikes. Think of all the repub senators out there, thanking their lucky stars that they're tone-deaf.
Sweet schadenfreude, it's getting nearly impossible to keep up with the repub scandals these days, whether money-related (Ted Stevens, Duke Cunningham, et al.) or sex-related (practically every repub in the senate). But you know, none of these scandals would outrage me if they weren't perpetrated by these members of the "party of family values" and "fiscal conservatives" and "moral majority" and anti-gay measures and all the other bullshite these repubs claim to live by. It's the hypocrisy that gets me. I mean, I don't care if Trent Lott's doin' the boy next door; just don't go saying stuff about homosexuality like this:
I feel nothing but glee at the way these bastidds are bringing down their seemingly bullet-proof party."It is [a sin]....You should try to show them a way to deal with that problem, just like alcohol ... or sex addiction ... or kleptomaniacs." - Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott, Associated Press, June 15, 1998.
Now--for the rest of that post headline: I may need input from my Catholic pal FranIAm, but when an atheist like me hopes and prays for something to happen, and then it happens, does that atheist have to start believing? Please advise.

Oh dguzman- it counts! I am sure! And if for some reason it did not, my own prayers are enough to go around.
I heard him on NPR this morning talking about how he and the missus were in church on sunday and blah blah blah, they just knew it was time.
Yes, he was in church and he felt the twitch and the itch, that is all.
Trent--toe-tapping--Lott? REALLY? Oh tooo too delish. Can it be true.
God love Repubs--because I surely don't!
Best line I read in a long time: "Trent 'The Throat' Lott." I'm crying over here.
Dear D-as a catholic atheist, I can tell you that if need be you can always lean on the great noodly appendage, the flying spaghetti monster.
Unlike the god of my mother, I think the FSM does answer wicked prayers!
Fran, I think that was just his gonorrhea talking, though.
KGMom--who knows? Now the boytoy is denying it. But he probably got paid to do so.
Thanks, Dr.M. You inspire me!
Jess--do I still have to do the rosary thing for the FSM?
