<DIV>But my fav bit comes from the Wash Times, where manly Trent Lott looks to
run for the hills ASAP!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott yesterday called for Congress to adjourn
rapidly as investigators verified an anthrax attack at the Capitol, part of a
Senate building was closed and thousands were treated with antibiotics.
<P>"'There is a growing feeling that as soon as we can get our work done, that
we should recess for the year,' said Mr. Lott, Mississippi Republican. House
Republican leaders, too, were focused at a closed meeting yesterday on wrapping
up business as soon as possible. . . .</P>
<P>"But Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and others said Congress should stay
in session as long as necessary. 'Leaving town is no longer the panacea,' said
Mr. Daschle, South Dakota Democrat. 'That assumes it's less dangerous somewhere
else. What we have to do is not run away from these problems, but address
them.'</P>
<P>"Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, said adjourning Congress quickly would
be 'an outright admission of surrender.'"</P>
<P>Wow -- Trent Lott, Commie fighter and supporter of Dixie, is the wimp,
while Daschle, socialist agitator for congressional Class War, stands tall. As
for McCain . . . we're all half-crazed POWs now!</P>
