Lott honors Gorton, challenges Washington to vote McCain

MINNEAPOLIS - Trent Lott, the former Senate Majority Leader from Mississippi, spoke to the Washington delegation this morning with an address full of jokes, old Senate stories, southern military history and recollections of the good times he has spend in Washington state.

He also complimented the Washington delegation on their organization for all getting together in the same room for breakfast.

"We Mississippians just kind of wander around the hotel lobby hung over," he joked.

Lott also touched on the idea of friendship and working together. He told stories of his camaraderie with former Sen. Slade Gorton, and the accomplishments that their friendship, which he said was very true, allowed them to achieve.

"What is wrong with Washington today," Lott said, "there is no camaraderie. There is just no time for it."

But in older times before constant media avails he and Gorton used to get lunch on Saturdays, sometimes with Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Lott said the only thing that bothered him about Gorton was that he was so much smarter than him, and compared him favorably with Dick Cheney, saying they were both quiet men, and on the rare occasion that they spoke out, everyone would lean forward to listen.

"I've been to Whidbey Island," he even said of his local experience. "We played this weird game he had called pickleball, where he got to make up all the rules."

One of three inventors of pickleball was Republican Rep. Joel Pritchard, who represented Washington's 1st District, in the 1960s on Bainbridge Island.

Lott closed by talking about the presidential campaign in Mississippi, which has the country's largest proportion of African American voters, who he predicted would go largely for Obama.

"We'll have a challenge but we're going to do the job," he said of the Magnolia State. "We're going to carry Mississippi. I challenge you, will you do it in Washington?"

Sexy Prom Dress Prom night is


Sexy Prom Dress
Prom night is the occasion most teenagers look forward to. Prom marks the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. It is the night of glamour as it is the last formal
occasion celebrated in high school and it is to be remembered and cherished. This is the reason why dressing up is so important.
Planning for the prom starts weeks in advance with a search for the dress, taking into account material, color and of course, the shoes. These days, it is not enough to be just beautiful. The final effect has to be as stunning and even as sexy as possible. The most popular sexy prom dresses are satin, sequined, vintage and the little black Prom Dresses as well as the hanky hem, the short and spicy prom dress and the classic Cinderella ball gown.
For a sexy prom dress, it is very important to determine the exact kind of dress that would suit you. The dress may look great on a model but it is necessary that it looks great on you too. To that end, take accurate hip, waist and bust measurements. Next, determine the kind of body you have-an A or H type, round or hourglass body-before you ship for a dress to die for.The Prom Dress can be sexier when it's the right color. Dark muted colors like deep gray, wine, forest green, burgundy, midnight blue and cocoa flatter a fuller figure while neutral colors like silver, black, gray, beige, gold and taupe give a longer, leaner look. Long straight cuts and vertical patterns also make the wearer look slim and sexy.
A professional would be able to help design the sexiest dress. There are several online outlets that sell beautiful Prom Dresses. These websites also provide information about choosing the right kind of Prom Dress and also help to design one. These include dresses from popular designers like Jovani, Riva, Alyce, Mori Lee, Cassandra, Je Matadi, Tiffany and Celebrity.
