		This weekend, it was announced that Senator Don Nickles (R-OK), formerly Trent's number two man, has come forward (at the suggestion of the White House, we gather) to put the party of out their whole Lott'a misery.
		Bush, Nickles and the whole host of similarly appalled Republicans needed reminders - repeatedly - that they should be offended.
		But before we let anyone off the hook, let's examine the voting record of Don Nickles, the man leading the coup to have Lott dethroned, and the Senator most likely to assume leadership in the aftermath.

		The two men also clashed after Nickles said Democrats had "flagrantly" violated the law, and cited John Huang's raising of illegal donations that the Democrats had to return when they couldn't verify the true source of the contributions.
		He made Nickles look the fool as he challenged the law on obstruction of Justice and bated Republican counsel Madigan to show him case law that would get even close to obstruction in the Nickels scenario.
