According to the American Spectator, a right wing magazine, Trent Lott might be retiring for other reasons than previously stated.
"Lott, Stevens, as well as Rep. Dennis Hastert all have ties to Bill Allen, a larger than life Alaskan businessman who owned Veco, an oil-field services company, and who was a huge benefactor of Republican politicians."
So I stand corrected, perhaps. I assumed Lott was getting out while the revolving door to Lobbyland was still working, however the real reason may be preparing his defense team. Durn I love the smell of scandal in time for the holidays!
UPDATE: In the probably not true department, Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler, says this about Lott's hasty departure:
"HUSTLER Magazine has received numerous inquiries regarding the involvement of Larry Flynt and HUSTLER in the resignation of Trent Lott. Senator Lott has been the target of an ongoing HUSTLER investigation for some time now, due to confidential information that we have received."
