A federal grand jury indicted outgoing GOP Sen. Trent Lott’s brother-in-law, Richard “Dickie” Scruggs, today “on charges that he and four other men tried to bribe a Mississippi state court judge.” Scruggs and his associates allegedly conspired to “bribe Mississippi Third Circuit Court Judge Henry L. Lackey with at least $40,000 in cash” after “Scruggs’ firm was named as a defendant in a dispute involving $26.5 million in attorneys’ fees.” The group of Mississippi attorneys in the indictment also include a former state auditor and Lott’s nephew Zach.

This is just the beginning of a long crimes wave by the Lott family. The voters of Mississippi have been fooled for a long time. Not only is Senator Lott a life long criminal but he has a gay mate too. Lott's been very busy. Now I guess Lott and Thurmond had a lot in common. Thurmond had a black daughter and Lott had a gay lover. So this is what the South is really like now.
