At least Trent Lott is not a babbling idiot. He may not be what the bloggers want, but he is not Murtha. He was competent in his job. He said something stupid however, the real problem the bloggers have with him is that he does not kiss their butts when it comes to their little pork buster campaign. But he wins elections which is more than be said for Santorum.

Now for a rant of my own. I thought that the alternaive media would give a new perspective on things.. they would be more fair and more honest and while we all have biases of course, they would attempt to keep theirs in check.

Not so.

The number of blogs I read on a regular basis is a fraction of what it was 2 years ago. We no sooner got past the Harriet Miers heebie jeebies complete with vicious and childish personal insults than we went into the Dubai hsysterical paranoia breakdown {Bush is selling the ports to AlQaida!!!!!} to be followed by the my way or the highway folks on immigration who accomplished nothing in the last election except perhaps for the loss of hispanic vote for the GOP for ever and until the end of time.

And now the folks on the internet are picking leadership for the parties. Why just jump on Lott? Don’t forget to do a little character assasination of Mel Martinez too.

And now of course all the socalled self styled experts on the internet have decided that Bush and Blair are going to surrender to AlQaida, after having failed to sell US ports to them.

These self styled experts say they have inside information or something and they know what is in the wind. Bush will retreat. That bad bad man.

After all Bush has over the last few years always put political expediency ahead of national security now hasn’t he? No? Well there is always a first time says the pundits of cyber space and so let’s just jump in there and run with it.

I think the alternative media is every bit as disappointing as the two parties they are always judging.

end of rant.
