Trusted Congressional sources are telling Big Head DC some scary news today, based on insider information. Yesterday, it seems, there was a great deal of commotion on the Senate side after Sen. Trent Lott made a statement to the effect of “get out of Washington if you can, things are dangerous.” He was also heard saying that the danger level will persist until September 12.
Some Democratic sources are saying that Lott may have staged the whole thing, so Congress could quickly pass a bill and go into recess.
No matter Lott’s intentions, he may not get his way so long as President Bush has anything to say about it.
More from TPM Muckraker on the incident here.
