Let me see, if Bill Clinton lies about a blowjob, it's almost a constitutional crisis. If any Republican lies about anything, including racist comments, their feelings on integration/segregation, the Civil Rights Act, their past voting/judicial records or animal cruelty it's OK since they are Republicans. Well maybe not 100% OK, since now Trent Lott is a mere Senator.
He still gets paid
he still gets to hang out it DC, (although I doubt he's an A-list kinda guy now)
and he can still try and add a little pork to the budget on behalf of Mississippians
So there we have it sex is evil, racisim and animal cruelty are OK, especially if you are a borrow-and-spend, don't pay the bills and hate your neighbor Republican.
