WTF Is It Now?!?

Get. Me. The. Brain. Bleach. NOW.

Doughy pantload Jonah Goldberg on Trent Lott's election as Senate Minority Whip:

He was elected precisely because he has the skills a minority whip needs: an intimate knowledge of the institution, and the ability to shake down colleagues for votes. Lott is detail oriented, collegial with an Old World gentility — as well as a certain sexual confidence befitting a former cheerleader at Ole Miss.

Huh? First of all, is he talking about Lott's Southernness when referring to "Old World gentility?" (More code words!) I suspect he means "antebellum world view" instead. And as far as "sexual confidence" relating to male cheerleading at Ole Miss goes. . . well, that's just baffling. Except for maybe Jonah Goldberg, I suggest that associating Trent Lott with sex of any kind would be very effective birth control/STD prevention. Ewww. See? Now you need the brain bleach, too. SORRY.
