"I’m sure senators on both sides of the aisle are being pounded by these talk-radio people who don’t even know what’s in the bill," Lott said.
The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”
Trent Lott, the Minority Whip, made these comments presumabley in response to being flooded with calls about the Immigration Bill. Immigration is something that’s important for the Congress and 
the Country to deal with, sure enough. But Immigration has become a vehicle for the sarcastic prejudice that lives on the dark side of America, and particularly the version dished out by Rush Limbaugh and his ilk. It’s good to hear Trent Lott from Mississippi coming out complaining about Talk Radio. Let’s hope others follow. I would be happy if the sarcastic, divisive whine of these Talk Radio shows becomes associated with the Bush years and that they fade away together.
