Obviously Republican Sen. Trent Lott has been living a little too high on the hog. Lott has become very accustomed to the posh restaurants that his lobbyist friends take him to on a regular basis. Lott has been very, very, very upset with the proposed new restrictions involving lobbyists. The New York Times has the story:
Some lawmakers said they thought Congress was overreacting to the lobbying scandal with an excess of new rules and requirements.
"Now we're going to say you can't have a meal for more than 20 bucks," said Senator Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi. "Where are you going, to McDonald's?"
Thank you, Trent Lott. You've just confirmed our original opinions we have of you: ARROGANT and SELF-CENTERED.
