In case you didn’t know, Trent Lott, the former is in a world of pain. It really hurts when Aaron McGruder disses you, since he does it so well. I opened up the Chronicle this morning and he ran a great Trent Lott commentary in his latest Boondocks strip.
Also, Wired News ran a fun feature story today on how Trent Lott’s latest slip-up is currently the most popular weblog discussion topic. I found that the most interesting quandry is that since he doesn’t know what a weblog is, do you think he is offended by the discussion? My guess is probably not until he realizes that “bloggers” are other Americans dissing him. Instapundit.com got mentioned in the article, and their coverage of the Lott crisis is okay but not the best I’ve seen. If you have a better feature weblog, please post a link. My current favorite Lott basher is Andrew Sullivan, but he’s on vacation at the moment.
Honestly, poor old Trent deserves to be dissed. First off, he likes Strom Thurmond. Secondly, he shoots his racist mouth off. Finally, he then pathetically tries to apologize on BET, which was just sad. See the McGruder strip for more info on that slip-up. I wonder what jokes Jay Leno is going to come up with about him. I haven’t been watching the Tonight Show lately.
