Trent "I Hate Frista" Lott wins this week's Dickhead award. For those of you who may not remember, here's a historical summary:

At a dinner honoring Strom Thurmond's ability to live a very long time, Trent Lott made the off-handed remark that the country would've been better off today had Strom "I Heart the Black Ladies" Thurmond had won in his bid for president.

Silly Trent! Racism's for kids! Strom "I Have a Half-Black Love Child" Thurmond was running on the segregationalist ticket. Even the bulk of the Republican Party wouldn't stand up for their then Senate Majority Leader.

Enter Bill "Frisky" Frist. In an inter-party uprising, Frisky ran for the job of Senate Majority Leader, while Trent "Empty" Lott took a low-profile role for a while.

Well, Trent "I Love Whitesa" Lott is back! When asked who he might throw his support behind in a run for the presidency, Lott said he definitely liked the Strom Thurmond candidacy. OK, not really. But he refused to pay a compliment to Frisky, saying his takeover of the Majority Leadership amounted to a personal attack during his lowest moments.

And in a book, Trent "I Need Ghost-Writersa" Lott called Frisky one of the "main manipulators" in his downfall.

Hold on a second, Dickhead. Think about what you did, Mr. Man. You praised the racist politics of a senile old man. Yes, Frisky is himself a Dickhead. But your utter lack of integrity in accepting some personal responsibility for your jackassedness makes you this week's Bald (yes, I think you wear a rug) and Effective Dickhead of the Week.
