How "Evil" Men deal with Hillary!

Ace wrote a post a little earlier about how Hillary! addressed a question posed to her about how she handles evil men.

Short answer? She marries them.

Just a joke. Maybe. Read Ace's post below for more details about Hillary!'s answer.

This post is coming from the flip side of that coin. Specifically, how do "evil" men deal with Hillary!?

The answer...by relentlessly mocking her.

As we all know by now, few men in Washington D.C. are as "evil" as Sen. Trent Lott. After all, he said some nice things to Strom Thurmond at a birthday party! It just doesn't get more "evil" than that.

Anyway, Sen. Lott carried out one of the greatest "punkings" I ever saw in my days on Capitol Hill. The victim? One Hillary! Rodham Clinton.

The story is long, so the rest will be posted after the jump. Read on, and find out the rest of the story.

OK. To get the basics of the story, you have to be aware of a couple of things.

First, when Senator Lott was majority leader he maintained two different Senate offices. The first was his "personal office" and was located in the Russell Senate Office Building. The Second was his "majority leaders office" which is located in the Capitol Building itself.

Now Senator Lott had some neighbors on the 4th florr of the Russell building. Senator Sessions' office was directly across the hall. Sen. Inhofe's office was right around the corner. The other office, located right next door to Lott's office, belonged to Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

When Hillary! won the Senate seat following Moynihan's retirement, she also took over Sen. Moynihan's office space. She and Sen. Lott were now neighbors!

Some time passes...Strom Thurmond turns 100...Lott makes his now infamous remarks...Democratic activists (including Clinton crony James Carville) make Lott the biggest racist since Bull Connor...The GOP ditches Lott...Lott loses his space in the Capitol Building.

Which causes a dilemma. How do you fit two entire offices worth of files in the space of your one remaining personal office? Because when you are the Senate Majority Leader, you have a lot of files.

The short answer, is, you can't. Which meant that Sen. Lott had to actually use the hallway outside his office as temporary storage space. Temporary in this case meant about 6 months.

So...Lott did what any of us would do. He lined the hallway with about 300 white boxes that were all labelled "IMPEACHMENT/CLINTON".

These boxes went all the way from the door to Lott's office to the door to Senator Clinton's office, a distance of roughly 60 feet. There was no escape for Clinton as she had to walk past them about a dozen times a day to get to the elevators to go cast votes.

I actually witnessed a couple of occasions when Hillary! would get stopped in the hall by a random tourist/constituent and in the course of posing for a photo, would refuse to pose with the boxes in the background. She was not amused.

I wish I had spent more time on the 4th floor of the Russell Building, as I would love to have been there to see Hillary!'s reaction the first time she realized what Lott had done.

Impeachment truly is forever, you know. And for about 6 months, anyone who needed to go to Clinton's office was reminded of that fact.

And you thought it was impossible to tell a nice story about Trent Lott.
