Repubs oust Trent Lott

[john937]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott said on Friday he will
step down as Senate Republican leader, but will remain in the Senate, leaving
Republicans with a controlling majority in the new year.

Lott's decision came less than 24 hours after Tennessee
Republican Sen. Bill Frist launched a bid to oust Lott for
the top Republican post. Lott has been under fire for
racially offensive comments made earlier this month at a
birthday party for 100-year-old Republican Sen. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina.

I think that's exactly why they're getting rid of him.
