As political scandals go, the Lott affair pales in comparison to Cheriegate, the national crisis of Great Britain:
As Tony Blair tries to concentrate on the day job, a new episode in the saga of faxes, tapes and tabloids unfolds.
The Brit scandal features an Australian conman trying to extort a residency visa out of Tony Blair with tabloid trash about his topless model girlfriend taking steamy showers with Blair’s wife. Those folks really know how to entertain the masses, but all our politicians can come up with is guilt, humiliation, and contrition over a bad joke.
But it’s good to know that Lott believes in Affirmative Action all the way. What a man!
