Talk Radio is Running America

And apparently he thinks that is a bad thing

Based on this story from Slate.com, I think we can conclude that Trent Lott deserves to be removed from the senate. The reason should be obvious; he no longer remembers who his rightful employer is. Instead, he thinks he has some sort of right to his job in perpetuity regardless of his job performance, or lack thereof. And like so many in the elites, he has become disconnected from the people who sent him to Washington in the first place.

Of course, talk radio is only one of several new media outlets that allow the voice of the regular people to be heard. And this new media world is, indeed, having an effect on the lives of those who, like Lott, used to be comfortable and complacent in their arrogance and aloof distance from the citizens in fly-over-country. Well, welcome to the new media world Mr. Lott. From now on, your employers will be keeping a much closer eye on you.

The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: "Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem."
